Pretty&Ghetto Girl November Spotlight

Rising from Adversity: Holly's Inspiring Journey

When life knocks us down, it’s often our passion and purpose that help us rise. For Holly, the creator and host of the Morning Mimosas podcast, that journey started from a place of profound loss and grew into a mission for justice, healing, and community. Holly and I both resonate deeply with finding purpose through loss; we know the strength it takes to rebuild after everything feels broken. This is the reason why I knew I had to not only celebrate her as our November Pretty&Ghetto Girl Spotlight but also share her amazing story.
Holly, a mother of two young children and an angel mom, carries the title with both pain and pride after the loss of her daughter. This heartbreaking event left her questioning her purpose and even her will to continue. Yet, through the pain, Holly found a way forward—helping others facing similar struggles, uniting people, and making a difference in her community. As she connected with others who shared her experiences, Holly realized she wasn’t alone. These connections ignited a spark that eventually grew into *Morning Mimosas*.

A Safe Space for Healing

Holly’s podcast is more than just a platform; it’s a safe space where people can come together to share their stories, discuss justice, and support one another in healing. It’s a space where voices that have been silenced can finally be heard. Holly has turned her own heartbreak into a place where others find comfort, solidarity, and the courage to heal.
What makes Holly’s story so impactful is that she lives out the values that Pretty&Ghetto stands for. She knows, like so many of us, what it means to overcome. In her words, “Pretty&Ghetto understands that we’ve been through some things, but we’re coming out stronger and victorious.” Holly embodies this every day as she rises above the challenges and turns her pain into power.

Empowerment and Resilience


Empowerment for Holly is a choice she makes daily – the choice to stand up, to fight for her dreams, and to create a better future for herself and her children. Her life, both personally and professionally, is a testament to resilience. As she grew through her journey, she faced dark days of self-doubt and wondered if her work mattered. But she pushed through, learning that her worth and her mission were not defined by anyone else’s opinion. This growth propelled her mission, leading her to launch her private investigation firm, Justice Awakened, which is currently in the process of opening. Alongside this, Holly is also pursuing her bachelor’s degree, further equipping herself to make an even greater impact.
Justice Awakened is more than solving cases; it provides closure and healing for families who’ve lost loved ones. Holly envisions offering mental health support to those who need it most but might not have access otherwise. She is dedicated to creating pathways for families to heal and find peace, just as she has found her own peace through helping others. In doing so, Holly is breaking generational curses, paving the way for a legacy of resilience, justice, and renewed hope for future generations.

Words of Wisdom

When asked what advice she’d give to women with dreams of their own, Holly emphatically states: *“Start somewhere. Don’t just talk about it; be about it.”* She understands that growth and success stem from action, not just intention. Her words remind us that taking the first step—even a small one—brings us closer to our goals.
As a woman of color in a field where dedication can be met with doubt or prejudice, Holly remains focused on her mission. She blocks out negativity and walks her path with courage, knowing her work is crucial to her community's well-being. Her journey is a powerful example of turning challenges into fuel for growth.

The Power of Community

Holly’s story is incomplete without acknowledging the role of community. It has been a cornerstone of her success, and she passionately gives back. Honored by organizations like the NAACP, Holly’s dedication to justice resonates with everyone she supports. She believes in the transformative power of connection and is committed to fostering a network where women uplift and inspire each other.
Looking ahead, Holly’s vision is beautiful and bold. In five years, she sees herself expanding her family, elevating *Morning Mimosas* to a national platform, and continuing her mission of justice and healing. She’s building a legacy that speaks of empowerment, resilience, and the strength to rise after every fall.
A Call to Action

Holly’s story is our story too. It reminds us, empowerment isn’t just a word; it’s a choice. Her daily life is an example of showing up for herself, her family, and her community despite the many challenges along the way. She has a heart for change, and she’s showing all of us what it means to stand tall and push through with strength and love. Holly’s journey from tragedy to triumph speaks to women everywhere who’ve faced hardship yet continue to push forward.
This month, we celebrate Holly for the courage and passion she brings to her work, her family, and her community. She’s not just talking about justice; she’s embodying it, reminding all of us to keep moving forward and find strength in our pain. Stay with us as we dive deeper into Holly’s journey, her dreams, and her advice for other women on their own path to making change. Her resilience will leave you inspired and, perhaps, ready to face your own challenges with renewed courage.
