ABOUT

Lisa Cunningham’s life took a transformative turn after the passing of her father in 2006. At the time, she was thriving in the entertainment industry, having directed and produced hundreds of music videos, but behind the scenes, she felt spiritually, mentally, and physically depleted. That loss marked the beginning of a deeper awakening. While caring for her mother in the years that followed, Lisa began to take inventory not just of her life, but of the healthcare system itself.
Through that intimate caregiving experience, she witnessed firsthand the inequities that shape health outcomes, particularly for Black families. What began as a personal reckoning grew into a mission to use her creative voice, strategic mind, and storytelling gifts to advocate for generational health and equity.
Today, Lisa is a nationally recognized marketing maven, award-winning film director, and fearless advocate. She brings her unique perspective to her work as a marketing strategist, filmmaker, and advocate for health and LGBTQ+ equity. Through creative campaigns, thoughtful storytelling, and collaborative partnerships, she focuses on expanding awareness, strengthening community connections, and promoting generational well-being.
In addition to her professional work, Lisa shares her journey as a speaker, encouraging others to reflect, realign, and design lives rooted in authenticity and wellness. For her, purpose isn’t just a calling; it’s a continuous choice to grow, give, and lead with intention.
