Twana Lawler is an AIDS survivor and motivational speaker from Louisville, KY, now living in Atlanta, GA. Her inspiring story resonates with anyone looking for healing and change in their lives. As a multifaceted creative, Twana wears many hats—she is a screenwriter, playwright, poet, gospel songwriter, and author. Through her heartfelt stories about love, life, and relationships, she reflects on the myriad challenges she has faced and overcome, providing hope and inspiration to others on similar journeys. Twana was born in Kentucky and grew up in a stable middle-class family. However, her life took a tragic turn when her father died by suicide when she was just twelve years old. This devastating event marked the beginning of a tumultuous journey filled with struggles, yet Twana has shown incredible strength and resilience. She has bravely overcome harrowing experiences of sexual abuse, alcoholism, domestic violence, and the profound trauma of having her children taken from her by an abusive ex-partner. During these challenges, Twana has held a strong belief that sharing information with others—through listening, understanding, and connecting on a personal level—brings healing.” This philosophy drives her commitment to helping others find their paths to recovery and self-acceptance. In 2013, Twana faced a life-altering challenge when she was diagnosed with full-blown AIDS, along with battles against dementia and depression. Despite being given only two weeks to live, Twana's spirit remains indomitable. Against all odds, she has declared her AIDS status healed since 2014, a testament to her unwavering faith, the transformative power of therapy, and the relentless support of her daughters. The cruelty she faced at the hands of a so-called minister of music, who intentionally transmitted HIV to her after she urged him to wear a condom, could have broken her spirit. Instead, Twana chose to transform this pain into purpose, believing that what seemed harmful to her was ultimately turned into something good by God, benefiting not only her but also countless others who hear her story. Through her creative endeavors, Twana Lawler has touched the lives of countless individuals and has become a beacon of hope for many. Her films—Who Did I Marry, God’s Precious Jewels, and When a Woman’s Fed Up—are available for streaming on Amazon Prime, showcasing her talent and dedication to storytelling. Additionally, her gospel stage play, Love Happened by Chance, received acclaim during its performances in New York City, further solidifying her status as a significant voice in the arts. With a rich portfolio that includes articles, screenplays, and stage plays, Twana continues to break barriers in the creative world while advocating for mental health awareness and the importance of self-love. Twana is eager to share her story and insights as a speaker at various events, including empowerment gatherings, workshops, and conferences. She is also available for TV and radio appearances, where she can reach even broader audiences with her inspirational message.
