Lilada Gee

A dynamic voice on behalf of Black girls and women throughout the African Diaspora who carry the heavy burden of generations of sexual trauma, as well as their own—Lilada Gee has committed her life to the defending of Black girlhood and the healing of Black women.

Sexually abused at a very tender age, Lilada suffered dire effects such as self-hatred, clinical depression and suicidal ideation. These devastating experiences made her deeply compassionate for how girls who have been sexually abused feel, think and live, through their trauma. Via her own healing journey, she developed an unyielding passion to help Black girl victims of sexual abused heal and reclaim their spirits, minds and bodies from the devastation of abuse.

A bold biographer, Lilada uses her critically acclaimed book, I Can’t Live Like This Anymore! as a powerful tool to empower survivors take back their lives. In this edgy inspiration, a triumphant story of victory rises from a past scarred by sexual abuse. She unveils her darkest secrets and deepest scars with incredible honesty and courage. Her book has strengthened the will to heal for survivors world-wide.

Daring preacher and intuitive inspirational speaker, Lilada captivates audiences across the globe with her wisdom, insight and distinct sense of humor. She will have you laughing until you are crying one minute and deeply contemplating how to live your best life, the next. (Source: lilada.org)
