Bio:

Akiliah Perez has always been loved by G-d and in relationship with Yeshua. While outwardly achieving the “American Dream” and success in the eyes of the dominant culture, she was spiritually wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—without knowing it. Through the deliverance and restoring power of Christ, her eyes were opened and her life was made whole. Today, Akiliah provides Biblical counseling, walking alongside others as they pursue healing and freedom rooted in Scripture. Visit http://akiliahperez.com to learn more.
