LANISHA'S BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PUBLICATIONS

2014

"Things I Never Talk About" is the personal story of Lanisha Porter. It’s an emotional recount of the first 18 years of her life as a young black girl, growing up in the West End of Louisville, Kentucky without her mother.  
 
It’s emotional and riveting to follow her word by word and line by line as she pours her heart out in minute detail. We've all heard​ numerous stories about what it’s like growing up without a father. However, missing the love of your mother leaves irreversible hang-ups.  
 
She cries out for help on the pages of this book about family, books, boys, sex, friendships, God, self-esteem, respect, and finding the woman inside herself without the guidance of her mother.  
 
Can she keep her sanity, virginity, and accomplish her goals, or will she be another victim of Louisville's West End?

"Things I Never Talk About"

2019

This book is one that is intergenerational, being far ahead of its time. It confronts traditions, and summons personal excellence from generations beyond. “Maximizing Her” has a unique relevance which will solidify its place in history. Lanisha interrogates the cone of normalcy around infidelity, confesses her resentment and personal frustrations around her family’s lack of generational wealth, speaks about the ambivalence of sisterhood as it pertains to female friendship, and reflects on the coping mechanisms that helped her recover after a confidence-crippling heartbreak. The beautifully written words arranged between these pages offer a cathartic release and leave the reader with an irresistible urge to manifest their destiny.
