HER STORY
A Path Walked. A Voice Earned. A Life Transformed.
From growing up in an alcoholic family to overcoming addiction, trauma, and cancer — Lisa's path has been one of transformation. She knows what it means to face life's darkest moments, and she also knows the power of resilience in rising above them.
