Testimonials of those who have collobarated with L.A. Wade.
I’ve known LA for years from running in similar circles and she’s always been an eloquent Queen. That’s why it was incredible to find her ‘waxing poetic’ on IG lives. In these spaces we get a front row seat to her intelligence and beauty. She guides interviews with ease, her skills on full display. I’m a fan.

L.A. has been an inspiration for a lot of people but for me she has helped me be my best self and find my true purpose through accountability and meditation. Her visionary talents are remarkable and can touch anyone’s life who feels lost or uncertain about their path in life.

Being a guest on LA Wade's The Cocktale Hour was awesome and a lot of fun. It felt like we were in my living room just having a conversation over some drinks. We laughed a lot!

You pushed me to bring my idea to life…Some people just have that authentic, genuine and rich connection, so if you’re looking for some authentic truth from a person who will actively listen, judgement free then L.A. is your girl. Sometimes we don’t need to hear or learn something new, we just need to know someone else has gone through it.

L.A. you inspire me. You gave my Spirit the wings needed. Never doubt your value and the gifts God has given you!

I honestly really enjoy your energy. Thank you for creating a safe space. You will change the world

When L.A. was my registrar at the University of Toronto, she always made space and time for me even when she was busy. She prioritized the students above everything else. As someone who is queer it meant the world to me.
…The enlightened conversations on LA’s show have a… healing affect that shakes up, [and] breaks up the mental and emotional limiting scars that viewers have regarding sexual expression and judgement and allows them to heal, understand ones self and others and while exploring new ways to be sexually happy.
LA is a kind, friendly and very genuine individual. It was always a pleasure working with her. She's both beautiful on the inside and out.
L.A. is an orienting star, helping, shining, guiding and inspiring those around her. I am thankful for the many roles she has played in my life.
We have the pleasure of working with LA Wade on all of our shoots and she is exceptional at capturing the moments on set, her angles and ability to edit her work to bring out the best product for our project was beyond. She is very talented and she brings her fabulous personality to the set every time, a great person to hire to capture your event or project
I’m so honored to have been the first guest on The Cocktale Hour. L.A. is incredibly talented and knows all of the right questions to ask without making you uncomfortable. L.A. is truly a natural and will continue to soar to new heights!!!
Great work. I’m not easy to interview and you did your thing with flying colors!
L.A. Wade is creativity and inspiration in motion. A simple conversation can lead you to many ideas and solutions. This is the impact she has.
Brilliant show. You are an elegant moderator.
…Beautiful, smart, devoted, courageous… The world needs L.A. to keep grinding…
L.A. offers the truth. That we are all glorious no matter where we’re at or how lost we may feel. It’s a beautiful thing to be seen by someone who truly understands the depths of the human soul – L.A. gets it.
