Healing Space

For Foster Youth & Former Foster Youth

Welcome to Your Healing Space

You were never meant to just survive. You were born to thrive.

At Sharks & Lilies, LLC, we see you.

We know what it’s like to grow through what you never asked for. That’s why we created this space just for you—to remind you that your story holds power, your presence has purpose, and your healing matters.

Whether you’re navigating life in care, aging out, or embracing your journey as a resilient adult survivor of the system. You're not alone, and you never have to be again.

“As a former foster youth, I built Sharks & Lilies to be what I needed growing up—something SOFT, something STRONG, something BOLD, something RESILIENT, and something that speaks to your soul when the world forgets to.”
— Shaneece Green, Founder

Know This:

You are more than your case file.
You are more than your pain.

You are sacred. You are worthy. You are wildly capable.

This is your space. This is your sanctuary. This is your reminder—you were always the main character.
