Turn the Gas Off is a powerful, compassionate guide for anyone who has experienced the disorienting effects of gaslighting and emotional manipulation.

Drawing from years of work in leadership development, belonging, and relational dynamics—as well as lived experience—Gigi Gilliard helps readers identify how gaslighting operates, who ignites it, and why its effects can quietly corrode a person’s sense of self. With clarity and care, the book names destructive behaviors, explains how they destabilize truth and trust, and offers practical insight for reclaiming clarity, boundaries, and peace.

This is not a clinical text, nor is it an exposé. Turn the Gas Off is a grounded companion for those who want language for what they’ve experienced, understanding without diagnosis, and a path forward rooted in truth.

Written for survivors, leaders, helpers, and truth-seekers alike, Turn the Gas Off invites readers to recognize when the air is poisoned—and to choose clean air again.

Hello Beautiful, Get Well Soon: When Hope and Healing Are On the Other Side shows us Gigi at her most open...her most raw.

Gigi wrote this at a time when many Black women she knew were resistant to psycho "talk" therapy. She noticed how many African American women (and women in general) were more apt to keep private about their private mental and emotional pains. Pain from betrayal, deep grief from death, illness, racism, anxiety, and other emotional challenges kept many silent. Some would say that we cannot heal what we cannot feel… and very usually, we do not fully feel what we do not say.

In Hello Beautiful ..., Gigi attempts to combat the stigma of mental and emotional difficulty by sharing some of her most intensely personal (and sometimes hilarious) jousts with mental and emotional turmoil. She takes us on a harrowing voyage from despair to triumph. 

Gigi is opening up about her battle with demons that have harassed her, forcing her to seek refuge in the land of healing resolutely.

In Gigi's freshman self-published work, she tried to tell us about the damage of assuming things... anything... about people.

While it is so important to be 'heard', being understood is what every human craves. Whenever snap, uniform assumptions are made about us, we can feel misunderstood, miscategorized, and even mistreated. In good relationships, however, we can learn to fight past "what we think we know" about others and sojourn to see, hear, and understand the whole truth of another. And it is in these moments that we're on our way to rejecting assumptions—and even fighting bias.

In The Loud Brown Round Girl: Rejecting Assumptions That Do Not Define Me, Gigi uses vulnerability, humor, and a pinch of social psychological science in her storytelling to help us find our way.
