About Lakeydra:

For years I was ashamed…..only a few knew my secret and no one knew my pain!   As a child, I was bullied at school and molested by a family member.  Joining the military was my way to escape and blossom into the person I thought I wanted to be not knowing my life would change forever.  Military Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence was not talked about and I was a victim of both.  Due to embarrassment and fear of retaliation, I kept the incidents to myself and alcohol became my security.

While I was trying to overcome my pain, my sister was murdered.  I felt so alone, I was ready to end it all.  After a suicide attempt, I realized it was more to live for and my faith was renewed.  Since that day my pain birthed my purpose to be a voice for victims.

We are a support system that will fight with you and for you so you are never alone during your healing.
