Khalilah shared her story with a panel of experts on ACE Awareness for Blue Shield of California. Her experiences, and rise to resilience deeply enriched our presentation. Her passion, transparency and willingness to share her struggles in order to uplift others, to inspire them to live beyond their trauma and pain, is nothing short of exceptional. She was also a joy to work with, she provided her materials on time, worked with us through dry runs - and was phenomenal in our webinar.
