Lisa Kratz Thomas
Lisa Kratz Thomas’ life is nothing short of a miracle. She literally went from the crack house to the State House, serving on a Senate Sub-committee that studied prisoner reentry in Virginia.
Her story has shaped her into a dynamic, sought after, speaker and author whose testimony is not only compelling but genuinely inspirational. Her story is an example that there is hope for every life, and Lisa now loves sharing that hope with others.
Carrying the shame of abortion she spiraled into the depths of drug addiction, alcohol abuse and even prostitution on the streets of our nation’s capital, Lisa found herself incarcerated. For many, that would be the end of the story but not Lisa; she entered a Twelve Step recovery program and turned her life over to God.
Upon release, Lisa worked diligently to overcome guilt, shame, and remorse. She went on to found a nonprofit organization that provided hope and resources to disenfranchised women who were re-entering society from incarceration, birthing her book, Overcoming Obstacles of Re-entry. As a radio talk show host, Lisa continued to share resolve, rebirth, and redemption. Her book, This Is Your Life – Not A Dress Rehearsal, illustrates the overcoming power of steadfastness and faith.
She has penned three books, founded a nonprofit organization, and was a radio talk show host, helping people to conquer adversity and transform their lives. Today Lisa travels the country speaking at prisons, churches, rehabs, schools, with businesses and corporations and at fundraising events encouraging others to use their adversity as an advantage.
