Frequently Asked Questions

Why do people call you Lucky? Since she was little, Lakeisha has always been called 'Lucky'. By having so many challenges placed before her in life thus far, and positively overcoming them, she was always regarded as Lucky. Also on the contrary, little things like winning raffles and bingo. Also if a bird is going to fly past, it will drop on her. Its just second nature that if its going to happen and can happen, it will happen to Lucky. Hence the nickname which has just stuck with her since a little kid. That and also having a unique name like Lakeisha, was pretty hard to write down and remember as a kid. Lucky is short, simple and most definitely memorable!
