Lakita is a speaker on various issues such as race relations, politics, feminism, HIV/AIDS, Christ in culture, and the impact of media on adolescent behavior. In 2007, she authored the book, “The Naked Truth; About Sex, Love, and Relationships,” which was called “the bible” of sexual abstinence by former Director of Domestic Policy Advisor to President G.

Event Reviews

“Lakita captivated our teens from the moment she took the stage. She connects with teens by using phrases/terminology they can easily relate to. Our parents and staff members also came away from this event feeling more equipped to share the abstinence message.”
