Michelle Lazos attends Huston-Tillotson University in Austin, TX. She is currently a senior and plans to graduate with a B.A. in Psychology. Despite being born in Texas, Michelle spent most of her childhood years on the beaches of Sarasota, FL, but returned to Texas in her late teens. She focuses her time on reaching those society deems “unlovable,” the prisoners, homeless, and mentally ill. She travels to various speaking engagements ranging from church gatherings to juvenile facilities sharing her testimony of the power of love and forgiveness she found in Jesus Christ. She is a group facilitator in a nearby women’s prison. She plans to publish a book in the near future sharing her testimony, while highlighting various strategies that have proved effective in overcoming adversity and implementing her book in prison libraries; making it available to inmates for no charge.
