Lavada England is a San Diego–based community leader, mentor, author, and global advocate whose life and work embody restoration, resilience, and emotionally intelligent leadership. A Queen in both spirit and service, Lavada has devoted more than two decades to empowering women, youth, and families to rise beyond circumstance and reclaim their full potential.

As Founder and CEO of House of Restoration Community Connections (HRCC), Lavada leads a grassroots movement dedicated to breaking cycles of poverty, trauma, and limitation through mentorship, education, and restorative community engagement. Her work is deeply informed by lived experience — a journey that began amid profound challenges, including teen motherhood and periods of homelessness, and evolved into a life of purpose-driven leadership. What once could have silenced her instead refined her voice.

Lavada is a licensed substance-abuse counselor whose approach seamlessly blends clinical expertise with empathy, faith, and emotional intelligence. Her lived experience does not merely accompany her work — it anchors it. As community partners and nonprofit collaborators note, this depth allows her to reach women and families with authenticity, compassion, and transformative impact. Lavada often affirms this alignment simply and powerfully: “I am that population.”

Through HRCC, Lavada has created a safe, empowering ecosystem where women and their children gain practical skills, confidence, and vision for the future. The organization’s mission centers on restorative engagement — strengthening families “one household at a time” through education, housing support, personal development, and business-minded empowerment.

HRCC’s innovative programs include creative and entrepreneurial initiatives such as the “Cover Me Right” fashion empowerment workshop, where participants collaboratively design, create, and auction apparel. These programs cultivate teamwork, creativity, financial literacy, and leadership, demonstrating Lavada’s belief that empowerment must be both expressive and economically viable.

Beyond HRCC, Lavada has contributed to youth enrichment and mentorship initiatives as a producer and collaborator, supporting programs that build confidence, identity, and leadership capacity among young people. Her leadership style is hands-on, faith-rooted, and community-centered — focused not on visibility, but on impact.

Lavada is also the visionary creator of the annual “She’s Worthy” Women’s Empowerment Summit, a signature community gathering held each November in San Diego. The summit convenes women leaders, advocates, and families for dialogue, healing, and strategic empowerment. Recent editions, hosted at prominent venues such as the Legacy Resort, have featured panels on self-worth, health, leadership, and community restoration — amplifying women’s voices and fostering collective strength.

At the heart of the summit is Lavada’s conviction that building strong women builds strong families — and that education, dignity, and emotional wellness are foundational to lasting change.

Lavada England’s impact has resonated far beyond local borders. In 2024, she received international recognition as a Women of Heart honoree through the UK-based Women of Heart Awards (WOHA). She was formally acknowledged at the London ceremony and featured as a cover leader in WOHA’s Face of WOHA publication.

This recognition positioned Lavada among a global circle of women leaders celebrated for courage, service, and transformational leadership. Her inclusion reflects not only her achievements, but the authenticity and heart-centered leadership that define her work.

In addition to her community leadership, Lavada England is a published author and motivational speaker whose writing centers on resilience, emotional mastery, and purposeful growth. Her works include:

•Travailings: A Journey Through Depression, Motivation, Frustration, and Resilience

•The Art of Remaining – Unlocking Your Growth and Success With Emotional Intelligence

Through The Art of Remaining, Lavada offers a powerful framework for navigating change without losing oneself. The book explores emotional intelligence as both a personal and professional compass — teaching readers how to remain grounded, self-aware, and aligned while evolving toward success. Her writing is reflective, affirming, and practical, rooted in lived truth rather than theory alone.

Her guiding principles — know your purpose, trust your instincts, and walk into every room as a VIP — are not slogans, but lived values she models daily.

Lavada England’s leadership has earned civic recognition, including formal proclamations from local officials honoring her service to families and underserved communities. Once described as “another quiet mama,” she now stands as a guiding force — mentoring dozens of women each year and shaping community ecosystems built on dignity, healing, and empowerment.

Today, Lavada continues to expand her reach through HRCC, her writing, public speaking, and global networks. Her legacy is not defined by titles alone, but by lives restored, voices reclaimed, and families strengthened.

Lavada England is a Queen of restoration — leading with emotional intelligence, lived wisdom, and unwavering commitment to uplifting others into wholeness and possibility.To this regards, Msz LaVada England has been nominated by the Academic Council of Highstone Global University USA for the recipient of the institution’s prestigious Honorary Doctorate Degree in Metaphysics on March 7, 2026.
