She has two older sisters, Tabisa (30) and Yum-Yum (29), who was named after the peanut butter, and would love to meet the actress Viola Davis because she is “so fierce and unafraid to take risks and I believe that is why she has become so successful in her chosen field”.
Describing herself as driven, compassionate and resilient, Lisa loves pizza and a good bowl of pasta.
