Bio
Through Lisa's company, Gilliam VOCALS, Inc, she uses her talents of singing, speaking, spoken-word, reciting poetry. She also hosts events. Moreover, since her first cd, Past to Present, comprised of spoken-word poetry and gospel music was released in 2004, Lisa has openly shared her testimony of God's goodness, grace, and healing that has taken place in her life. She combines Biblical principles with spoken-word, creative writing, and singing as she shares her testimony about how she learned to forgive and overcome the effects often caused after experiencing sexual abuse, molestation, acquaintance/date-rape, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts, and situational depression.
