Lightsey is a curator of worlds—the ones we’re handed, and the sovereign ones we build for ourselves. She is an educated baddie—a scholar by training with the audacity of a visionary and a heart forged in the hood. A Southern girl with West Coast ease, she’s a wife, a mom of two, and your sister in the group chat who knows that our laughter isn’t just fun—it’s freedom. Her public life is a testament to joy, innovation, and getting the proverbial bitches together to dream the next evolution of ourselves. She finds inspiration in horror movies, a perfectly curated closet, the quiet bliss of a nap, and the electric hum of a room full of women imagining audaciously. This ethos is the foundation of The Roaring Twenties, LLC—a sanctuary and a launchpad. On the surface, it is a celebration of our light, love, and limitless capacity for joy. To those welcomed into its inner circle, it reveals itself as something more: a precise, loving strategy for building impenetrable foundations for our daughters and claiming our best lives, with or without the world’s permission. Lightsey holds a degree in English from Florida State University (B.A.) and is a Double Trojan of the University of Southern California (M.Ed & Ed.D). But her most critical education came from reading rooms and systems with the same fluency—a skill learned early, sharpened over a lifetime, and now offered as a tool for collective elevation. She builds frameworks not from theory alone, but from the lived genius of Black women. She names the subtle architectures of our daily lives—the Tempered Herstriology that honors our intuition as generational data, and the Outsourced Selfhood we refuse to perform—not to dwell in struggle, but to disarm it. Her work is a return to self, a reclamation of energy, and a blueprint for thriving. Ultimately, she is for the woman who knows her power but is ready to channel it with lethal precision and radical grace. For the one who is done asking for a seat and is now building her own table, on her own land, with her own people. This space is for her.
