Today we’d like to introduce you to Holly Sisa.
Hi Holly, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Born to African parents in 1992 in North Carolina, my life started as a typical big sister of three younger sisters—mother of two living children. I lost my firstborn in 2008 When I was fifteen years old. When through years of depression and suicidal attempts. I’m slowly starting my healing process through my podcast, Morning Mimosas. With that, I’m seeking justice and healing for others.
It wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No, the road has been very bumpy. After losing my first baby as a teenager, I went through major depressive disorder And mild anxiety. I thought I would never have other children after that tragedy. So, I spent years jealous of other women because they had something I lost. It took me ten years, and then I finally said a prayer. I told God. Please just take this from me because it hurts. If I meant to be a mother, I would. I was pregnant three months later. It was amazing to let go of something you want coming to you.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might need to be more familiar with what you do, what can you tell them about what you do?
My current specialty is my podcast. Morning Mimosas is the name & we value criminal justice, healing, and education for the black and minority communities. I’ve achieved great success in the fifteen months since launching my podcast. I am NAACP nominated & nominated for many awards in my short time doing this. What sets me apart from other people is I care. I want to make effective change in my community because I’m a tired human doing something about this.
What would you say has been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
To give myself more grace than I already do. I’m very hard on myself. I beat myself up often because I felt I should be somewhere else.
