About Wallisa

Wallisa Lankford is a wife, mother of 3, and founder of Precious Pearls Mentoring—a youth non-profit organization dedicated to adolescents. With over 15 years of experience mentoring and working with the youth, she has a passion for seeing young people thrive, given their many adversities. She knows firsthand the importance of a positive role model and community support. Growing up in the foster care system and surviving sexual assault, she saw and experienced the selfless acts of women coming together to support, uplift, and encourage her.

Overcoming those obstacles and having those positive role models in her life drives her to be that same beacon of light for the youth today. With God’s guidance and wisdom, she provides support and motivation through speaking opportunities and mentorship to help children understand their purpose and live it out. Her goal is always to provide tools and knowledge in a fun interactive way to support, uplift, and encourage, no matter the circumstance or situation.
