Who is Laila Vanderpool...
The only thing extraordinary about me, is He that is in me. Growing up, I was able to chat with anyone and everyone about anything as an extreme extrovert, but the truest expression of my thoughts was best captured on paper. I kept a diary in my childhood and have actively written poetry since elementary school, but, it wasn’t until 2015 that I took a leap of faith to publish my first book. As my life is not my own, but a gift from God, I was confident that writing my testimony would encourage others and glorify God simultaneously.
Two books, a couple of radio/ podcast segments, and several speaking engagements later, I am excited to continue making the name of Jesus Christ famous.
Today and each day I show up intentionally to approach every challenge set before me as an opportunity to grow and develop for the sake of whomever God places in my path tomorrow. To find out more or to discuss a potential project, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
