Lisa spent her childhood dreaming of being a mother. Years of living on the streets and working as a dancer (Valerie Foxx) gave Lisa street smarts, independence, and a sense of community.

She went on to graduate from the London school of culinary arts in 2001and Fanshawe SSW in 2017. She had multiple culinary businesses throughout her life and loved the work she did mentoring women in crisis at WRRC. Sister, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, Lisa enjoyed cooking, singing, writing poetry, gardening, foraging, creating medicines and all-natural beauty products, making dreamcatchers and medicine bags; among her many other hobbies.
