Strength over strokes

Our Story

Strength Over Strokes was born from a personal journey that deeply impacted our family. After witnessing Minister Gail Black, the matriarch of Lady Kizzee’s family, endure multiple strokes, we recognized the urgent need for awareness and education. Our experiences ignited a passion to inform, empower, and support others in preventing and overcoming the challenges of strokes. Through advocacy and outreach, we are committed to making a difference—one life at a time.

Our Founder

 LaTrice "Lady" Kizzee, founder of Strength Over Strokes, uses her personal experiences to advocate for stroke awareness and prevention. Her passion for education and outreach drives the mission to inform, empower, and support individuals affected by strokes.

Our Mission

 Strength Over Strokes is dedicated to raising awareness, educating communities, and advocating for stroke prevention and recovery. Through outreach, support, and empowerment, we strive to reduce the impact of strokes and improve the quality of life for survivors and their families.

What is a stroke?

 A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or a blood vessel bursts, causing brain cells to be deprived of oxygen and nutrients. This can lead to serious brain damage, disability, or even death. Strokes are a medical emergency that require immediate attention. Common warning signs include sudden numbness, confusion, trouble speaking, vision problems, dizziness, and severe headache. Recognizing the signs early and seeking prompt medical care can save lives and improve recovery outcomes.
