This presentation was the real deal. It gave a foundation and context for how participants were to approach the remaining information in the session. That foundation was love. We explored types of love and settled into that space before we were given a meaningful, informational history of racism in America. What made this presentation unique was the opportunity to interact and discuss what we had experienced from a very personal social and spiritual place and to see our personal work in moving the world forward. Lailah is an excellent teacher who designs deeply meaningful workshops, courses and lectures that inspire people to reflect, then act.
Thank you for the experience!

For the first time in years, I attended a workshop that was a work of art. Lailah, an uncommon workshop leader, artfully blended a history of racism from the perspective of a sociologist, spiritual guide and story teller. Her refreshing approach to America’s “original sin” also included a sensitive examination of how the trauma of racism- rooted in slavery - impacts the African American community and America as a whole. Not satisfied with simply giving a diagnosis of the problem, Lailah also offered a powerfully insightful prescription that can go far in contributing to a creative solution to healing America’s racial dis-ease.

To observe her skills in the workshop for Self-Love, Lailah is a teacher, a healer, and a candlestick maker lighting the way to abuses, bruises and soothing balms.
