Dear Lil Black Girl is an autobiography of the ups and downs of a young lady afflicted with low self-esteem. From the outside looking in, she appeared to have the ideal body; most couldn’t understand the reason for esteem issues. But what the eye can’t detect is emotional scars. The author, beautiful she may be, was traumatized from molestation, domestic violence, and rape. She also suffers with depression and anxiety. Lesi Cali La'Na wants to raise awareness for sexual assault, domestic violence, and mental health; while sending the message not to judge a book by its cover.

CIMOS by Cali is a fashion line. Lesi Cali La'Na is the designer. CIMOS is an acronym for Comfortable In My Own Skin. It’s easy to hide the things we don’t like about ourselves, but what if we embrace them? Our flaws aren’t what make us unattractive, our lack of confidence is. A nice outfit can transform an attitude from blah to breathtaking. Stand tall, hold your head high knowing that you are one of a kind!
