Welcome to Luminance, the podcast that highlights the journeys of extraordinary authors and leaders. Today, we are honored to present a special session from The 2024 Authorship Summit featuring the inspiring Lila Holley.

Lila Holley is a multi-award-winning, bestselling author, Army Veteran, and the visionary founder of Camouflaged Sisters. With a deep commitment to helping fellow Service Members navigate the challenging transition from military life, Lila uses her books and real-life experiences to empower others to own their stories and heal through the power of storytelling.

The Camouflaged Sisters anthology series, a testament to Lila's dedication, consists of eight published books that share the inspirational stories of 143 courageous military women. These anthologies cover a wide range of topics, including leadership, mentorship, sisterhood, career challenges, and combat experiences. They also bravely address difficult subjects like surviving military sexual assault, toxic leadership, PTSD, and domestic violence while serving. The goal is for other women to read these stories and know they are not alone in their struggles, finding solace and strength in shared experiences.

Lila believes in the unparalleled power of firsthand storytelling, asserting that there is no one better to tell these stories than the women who lived them. This approach to writing is not only therapeutic for the authors but also profoundly healing for the readers.

Join us as we delve into Lila Holley's incredible journey, explore the impactful stories of the Camouflaged Sisters, and uncover the healing power of storytelling.
