Today we’d like to introduce you to Lilli Adelleè.
Hi Lilli, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I am originally from Kansas City Missouri. I was raised in Los Angeles CA. I am 4 out 5 children on my mothers side but I am the only child from my father. I come from a very big family. I have always been artistic I have always been active my whole life. I grew up dancing on multiple dance teams at once, I was on the international championship team for pop Warner cheerleading. I cheered and danced until college. Ive traveled a lot of on competing cheer and dance teams.
I’ve always loved to draw I spent a lot of extra drawing imaginary stories,. I have always been a person with a big imagination.
I started in fashion when I 16 years old I learned that I loved to recreate dresses that I seen in magazines. I was able to sketch dresses exactly how I seen them. I drew the blueprint to my fashion boutique when I was 16 years old. I sketched in class. In my early twenties, I started doing print modeling for small clothing lines. The response I received from photographers were very positive. I juggled styling and print modeling as extracurricular activities. I am called a “social butterfly” and “superstar by a family member.
In 2019 I discovered my life’s purpose I am called as an evangelist. I have decided to imply The Gospel of Jesus Christ and Fashion together. I believe you can be full of life, stylish, and live for Jesus. I believe in extending love to everyone. I still do print modeling. I am currently working on a shoe line.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I have always experienced obstacles and challenges since a very young age but I am extremely strong and through Yahweh’s Grace and Guidance I am an overcomer.
I suffered a major injury in 2014 and 2015 I was considered disabled by the state I was unable to walk. I tore both of my patella tendons I’ve had four knee surgeries. I’ve completed multiple rounds of physical therapy. I’ve learned how to use my lower extremities.it was a challenge going through physical therapy and very painful but I made up my mind that I would become physically mobile again. I used to use a walker and knee braces. I had to relearn how to physically walk again. It included walking completely on my own without any equipment.
It has been extremely hard nothing has been easy I have experienced and overcame homelessness, disability, depression, and anxiety. I gave up on my dreams before because I felt defeated in life. I’ve had to start completely over multiple times I’ve been homeless more than once I truly stood on “If I lose everything I’ll still have Jesus I’ll have enough to start all over again”
