No Longer Silenced is Kalise White’s second book — a powerful, transparent reflection on silence, identity, trauma, faith, incarceration, motherhood, and healing. Written with honesty and emotional depth, the book exposes what happens when pain is buried and voices are muted — and how courage, grace, and truth make room for freedom.

This is not a story about perfection. It is a story about becoming whole. It is for the survivor. The mother. The woman rebuilding. The person learning to forgive themselves. And anyone who has ever felt unseen.

Readers describe Kalise’s writing as:

• “Life-altering”

• “The first time I felt seen”

• “Raw, real, and healing”

Her book invites readers to confront their truth — not with shame — but with compassion, faith, and hope.
