Kelis Jordan is a stunningly beautiful woman who was once broken and misunderstood! Some say her nasty demeanor diminished much of her beauty! Kelis was a young, typical Black girl, like most of us, brought up in an environment that was loving but dysfunctional. She was raised in a household that consisted of only women: her grandmother, mother, and two aunts. Gambling was a permanent fixture in her home.When she was not looking, a young man name Bleu entered her life. He erupted feelings in her she did not know existed, and being so determined not to fall in love, she purposely destroyed the relationship. Bleu was added to the long list of love loss, and to deal with the pain, she continued to rely on her drug of choice... gambling.

Through the creation of the Purple Light Touch Foundation, she has become a catalyst for change, offering solace, healing, and empowerment to those who need it most. Join us as we explore Valerie's inspiring story and the transformative impact she continues to make in the lives of countless women and young girls. In 2001, I found myself standing in my kitchen, overwhelmed with frustration and despair. I cried out to God, questioning my purpose and expressing my belief that life was filled with suffering. At that moment, I received a surprising response from a higher power. God assured me that my life had a greater calling-to help people. This revelation puzzled me because I felt incapable of helping myself, let alone others. Filled with anger, I lashed out by throwing a teapot at my glass doors and fish tank, longing to hear something shatter just as I felt broken inside.The catalyst for my outburst stemmed from a situation where I had warned someone about the dangers of taking part in drug trafficking. I received a divine message to share with this person, and I went to great lengths to help him change his plans and even provided him with the necessary items. Although he safely returned from his trip, he misconstrued my actions and believed I had supernatural abilities, leading him to try to burn down my house during a drug-induced episode. Once again, God's intervention saved me. Weeks prior to this incident, I had met a peculiar situation where my car supposedly ran out of gas unexpectedly. Perplexed, I reached out to the person who lent me his gas can. Unbeknownst to me, this act of kindness and the presence of the gas can in my backyard played a crucial role in safeguarding my home and the lives of my grandchildren. When the individual looked to ignite a fire, he couldn't find the gas can, as it remained in my yard, unbeknownst to him.During this tumultuous period, God revealed a plan for my future. Despite being on disability due to a work-related injury that caused excruciating pain in my lower back and right arm, I received divine instruction to buy my house and take out a mortgage for only ten years, as I would be moving in ten years. This directive seemed impossible, considering my financial circumstances and health condition. When I initially applied to buy a house, I faced rejection. Unbeknownst to me, this setback was a blessing in disguise, as the housing agency had plans to replace all the windows in the property with double-glazed ones, which would have incurred significant costs if I had already bought the house.Undeterred, I persevered and made a second attempt to buy a house. Miraculously, I was able to buy my property for just $24,000. Little did I know this would prove to be a wise investment. Eventually, when I decided to move from that house, I sold it quickly for $99,000, realizing a substantial return on my investment. This series of events showed God's unwavering presence and protection in my life. Through moments of despair, frustration, and unexpected challenges, I discovered that divine guidance and providence were at work. The journey was filled with hardship, but it also revealed God's ability to turn adversity into blessings and to supply a path forward, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
This book is crafted with the intention to be a guide in your journey toward recovery and healing from trauma. It draws inspiration from my personal experiences, where gratitude for God's healing presence remains a constant. I reflect on moments when I nearly lost my life to abuse, facing the loss of a child and bearing physical scars. However, these scars have become symbols of triumph, leading to the establishment of the Purple Light Touch Foundation, PLT Massage and Wellness, and the empowering platform, the "Don't Believe The Hype Show."This book explores the transformative power of massage, delving into the stories of those who have found solace and healing on the massage table. It emphasizes that our past does not dictate our future, drawing on personal narratives of homelessness and the fight for survival. Through these experiences, a recognition emerges that the most potent advocate for oneself is often the person in the mirror, coupled with an unwavering faith in God's constant presence and healing grace.As readers embark on this journey through the pages, I hope that they find inspiration, comfort, and practical insights to navigate their own paths of healing. May this book serve as a beacon of hope, reminding every individual that they have the strength within to overcome traumas and redefine their futures. The journey toward healing is unique, but with the right support, faith, and self-advocacy, it is a journey that can lead to transformative triumphs.

We are just the way God wants us to look and to embrace every part of it.

Be encouraged as you read these pages and find hope in knowing that there is life after the pain. Be restored in Jesus' Name, Amen.
