Today we’d like to introduce you to Marissa Hood.
Hi Marissa, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
As I matured as a young woman, I faced profound pain and trauma, navigating insecurities tied to acne and struggling to recognize my own beauty despite imperfections. Enduring heartbreak from losing siblings and witnessing my single mom’s challenges, I witnessed anger, brokenness, poverty, and low self-esteem in the lives around me.
When I discovered I was expecting a daughter, I felt compelled to heal, forgive, and strive for a better life. Turning to my faith, I grew closer to God, experiencing transformative change. Sharing my journey, I founded the Sister Tribe community, inspiring women and girls to join me on this path of growth and empowerment.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I see struggles as essential lessons for personal growth, and I’m thankful for every obstacle in my journey. My major challenge involved unlearning unhealthy family habits, a process requiring significant effort to break ingrained patterns. It demanded prayer, resilience in the face of failures, and a steadfast faith to overcome. Another crucial lesson has been developing emotional intelligence, understanding not to take everything personally, and avoiding impulsive reactions driven by emotions.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
A pivotal lesson in my journey is recognizing the diverse backgrounds, thoughts, and perspectives of individuals. This newfound understanding has liberated me from hurt, confusion, and anger. Embracing the idea that every person and situation is a learning experience has lightened my mental load. Instead of dwelling on others’ actions or opinions, I now concentrate on what God says about me, finding peace and joy in this shift towards freedom from overthinking.
