I’ve had the privilege to know Lisa Edwards for 18 + years, first when she approached our organization to assist her in her quest to purchase her first home. Lisa was eager to learn the process, and with great patience and tenacity, she availed working with County, State, and Federal entities. Lisa is a firm believer in the pay-it-forward model. Since her home purchase, Lisa’s become very involved with the community and especially her neighborhood. As a Speaker, Lisa’s journey will move your audience with hope and inspiration. Lisa understands that homelessness doesn’t mean hopelessness, and disability doesn’t mean inability. Once a victim of domestic violence now a survivor Lisa leads by example and influences others to take action and make a difference. Lisa believes when we come together as a community, surrounding others with positive role models, mentors, advocates, and alternative solutions, anything is possible, and Lisa is living proof.
