Lisa was kicked out of college after she attended it for a year, as she could not afford to pay the fees. Moving into the workforce, Lisa started applying for jobs and was fired from five different jobs when she was 25.

Personal Life: Dating, Boyfriends, Husband, Kids

Lisa Nichols was married to a man during the 90s who was physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive to her. He would hit her, choke her until she could not breathe, and throw her across the room where she would hurt her spine. In 1994, 28-year-old Nichols gave birth to a son, named Jelani Malik Nichols. His biological father and Lisa’s “husband” would be sent to prison just eight months after this on the charge of assault and theft.

Left on her own, Lisa would struggle a lot, trying to take care of her infant son and herself. She ended up on government assistance, and found it difficult to provide even the most basic stuff like diapers to her baby son and had to wrap him up in a towel for two long days. From that moment on, Nichols promised herself and her son that she will take them out of poverty and provide them a good life.

Her son Jelani is currently engaged to his long time girlfriend Maya, who battled and won over cancer. Lisa posted on her social media a picture of the young couple, congratulating them on their engagement.
