From Survival to Strength: Kalise White Breaks Her Silence in Powerful New Book

By: Ciara Suesberry

For years, Kalise White lived with a story she was never taught how to tell. Raised in an environment where “what happens in the house stays in the house,” silence became her survival mechanism. Pain, loss, trauma, and unanswered questions followed her into adolescence and adulthood, shaping her life in ways she couldn’t yet name. Like many women, Kalise learned to carry her experiences quietly, believing strength meant endurance, not expression.

But now, she is rewriting that narrative. With the release of her deeply personal first book, You Left Me, God Blessed Me, and the upcoming sequel, No Longer Silenced, Kalise White invites readers into her journey of transformation, faith, and healing. The two-book series offers a fuller understanding of her powerful story, proving that survival can become purpose, and pain can become power.

The Two-Book Journey: From You Left Me, God Blessed Me to No Longer Silenced

Kalise’s first book, You Left Me, God Blessed Me, set the stage for the transformative journey she shares with readers. Her upcoming sequel, No Longer Silenced, delves even deeper into her story, offering a fuller understanding of the pain and healing she faced. No Longer Silenced expands upon the journey introduced in the first book, showcasing how faith and self-discovery played crucial roles in her transformation. This sequel continues to speak to the heart of her story, reinforcing the message that healing is an ongoing process.

Finding Her Voice After Years of Silence

The title No Longer Silenced isn’t just symbolic; it’s a declaration.

“For most of my life, I didn’t talk about what happened to me,” Kalise shares. “I kept everything inside. Now, I’m in a different place. I speak about it. And that freedom has had a profound impact on my life.”

Her story is not just about what she endured; it’s about what she has worked to overcome. Kalise’s healing journey began during her incarceration, a time she describes as both humbling and transformative. Stripped of distractions, she was forced to confront herself, her faith, and her future.

“That was the first place I learned how to be still,” she explains. “I had never known how to do that before.”

In that stillness, she began seeking God, not perfectly, but honestly. She wrestled with questions, anger, and doubt, discovering that faith wasn’t about having all the answers; it was about continuing to believe even when things didn’t make sense. That spiritual reckoning would shape not only who she became, but the message she now shares with the world.

Healing as a Daily Practice

For Kalise, healing isn’t a destination; it’s a daily discipline. Each morning begins with gratitude. Before checking her phone, she gives thanks for her health, her mind, her stability, and her life.

“That’s how I ground myself,” she says. “It reminds me that God is involved in my day before anything else.”

She follows this with scripture, affirmations, or faith-based teachings, feeding her spirit before the world can drain it. This ritual has become her emotional and mental anchor, helping her stay centered through life’s unpredictability. Her philosophy is simple but profound: healing isn’t about being perfect. It’s about choosing growth, even on the hardest days.

A Book Series That Speaks to Women at Every Stage

The No Longer Silenced series isn’t just a memoir; it’s a mirror. Each chapter presents a real-life scenario from Kalise’s journey, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences. She doesn’t just recount what happened, she walks readers through how she processed pain, where she found strength, and how faith reshaped her outlook. At the end of each chapter, she offers reflections, affirmations, and spiritual encouragement, creating space for readers to heal alongside her.

“I want women to feel seen,” Kalise says. “Not judged. Not rushed. Just understood.”

Her story speaks especially to women and mothers navigating identity, trauma, shame, and rebuilding, those who have been labeled, misunderstood, or underestimated.

“My book goes all the way back to childhood,” she explains. “I show how pain shows up in different seasons of life, and how you can work through it.”

Turning Pain into Purpose

Kalise’s work doesn’t stop with her book. She is also the founder of Help Heal Nations, a global support movement inspired by a vision she’s carried for years, standing on stages, sharing her story, and helping others reclaim their voices.

“I don’t just want to heal myself,” she says. “I want to heal nations.”

Through speaking, storytelling, and community-building, she aims to empower women to confront their pain, build faith, and choose transformation. Her message is clear: healing doesn’t mean pretending trauma didn’t happen, it means choosing not to let it define you.

Why Faith Matters

Faith is central to Kalise’s story, but not in a rigid or judgmental way.

“I believe everyone needs spiritual grounding,” she explains. “I don’t tell people who to pray to, but I do believe you need something that centers you.”
For her, faith is a mindset. It’s what helps her push through when life feels heavy. It’s what reminds her that storms are temporary.

“I’m still growing,” she admits. “But I understand faith now in a way I never did before.”

A Voice That Frees Others

Perhaps the most powerful part of Kalise’s journey is this: she no longer hides. The courage to speak, openly, honestly, without filters, has been the most healing part of her life.

“Speaking my truth heals me,” she says. “And it helps others heal, too.”

That authenticity is what makes No Longer Silenced resonate so deeply. It isn’t polished pain, it’s lived experience. It’s raw. It’s real. And it gives others permission to be real, too.

What She Hopes Readers Walk Away With

Kalise doesn’t want admiration; she wants activation.

She hopes readers walk away with:

  • Faith
  • Tools for healing
  • A new way of starting their day
  • And the courage to change

“If my story can make someone say, ‘It’s time for me to change,’ then I’ve done my job.”

With No Longer Silenced, Kalise White isn’t just sharing her story, she’s opening a door for others to walk through. And this time, she’s not whispering. She’s speaking.
