About Lisa

---

Lisa V. Henderson is the proud mother of two young adults – a 40-year-old son and a 35-year-old daughter – and a doting grandmother to a 9-yearold grandchild. With a remarkable 40 years in the medical field, she has diversified her skills, serving as a medical coder for a decade, a travel consultant at Living the Dream World Travel, a skilled baker with Lisa’s Taste of Sweetness, and the accomplished author of two books: From the Heart of Harlem and Blessed Beyond Measures.

Despite facing trauma in her early years and grappling with post-traumatic stress disorder, Lisa turned to prayer, seeking guidance from God to lead her footsteps. Acknowledging the potential influence of one’s environment, she refused to accept the notion that she was a product of the streets. Lisa was determined to break free from that life and build a new, promising future for herself and her children, always aspiring for more.

Unwilling to settle and rejecting the power of “no,” Lisa embraced the “yeses” in life, becoming a go-getter and trendsetter. She consistently took on new challenges, viewing them as opportunities for personal growth. Despite facing mental and physical abuse, anxiety from a street-oriented family life, relationship drama, and medical issues, Lisa transformed her past pain into a purpose, embodying the concept of post-traumatic growth – positive psychological change resulting from navigating highly challenging and stressful circumstances.

Lisa’s development extended beyond herself, impacting her mindset, strength, laughter, and love for both her family and others in similar struggles. Her presence exudes positive energy, characterized by a smile that can brighten up any room. Lisa remains committed to helping others and eagerly anticipates the unfolding of a new chapter in her life, whatever that may entail.
