About Lakisha
A mission born from honest love.
Lakisha Hinton-Williams believes a mother should be her daughter’s safe space
— not a relationship cut short by silence and old wounds. Through her
Ceasefire movement, she helps families end generational silence and rebuild
respect across the generations.

identity, and breaking the patterns that keep mothers and daughters apart.
