A native of Oakland, California, Corey Damon Lillard grew up in a family of 8 in East Oakland during the 1980’s, a very poignant and pivotal time in Oakland. During this time, Corey experienced many setbacks and hardships throughout his childhood.

 

At the age of 27 he realized he had an incredible story to share of triumph and transformation. His passion for helping people, 

especially the youth in Oakland, led him to write and publish his story to uplift and educate people on how to overcome their own obstacles.

 

Corey believes in the importance of building strength through mind, body, and spirit. 

He teaches others how to connect mental and spiritual strength with physical vigor, through physical training and body building.

 

Corey is a loving father of 3 daughters. He currently resides in Oakland where he spends most of his time as the primary care giver to his father.

 

Corey can be found at his various book signings and public speaking engagements.

He is also the current Chairman of the longest running Martin Luther King Jr. Multicultural Rally in the Bay Area.
