Award-winning DJ and media personality Lamiez Holworthy recently opened up about her challenging childhood, revealing the deep struggles she faced growing up in an Indian community.
In an emotional interview with DJ Fresh, Lamiez shared how her mother was rejected by her Indian family for having a child with a Black man.
This rejection led to Lamiez being labeled as the “black sheep” of the family, leaving her feeling isolated and unaccepted.
Lamiez explained how some members of the community went so far as to spread hurtful and false rumors about her origins, even going as far as claiming she was a “product of rape.”
At school, children would question why she was Black while her family was Indian, deepening her sense of isolation and confusion.
Lamiez recalled how her mother was forced to choose between her and the family, and she was ultimately written off by them.
Despite the challenges, her mother’s love for her never wavered.
Lamiez credited her mom for raising her in a home filled with love and strength, which shaped her into the resilient woman she is today.
Following her heartfelt revelation, fans on social media expressed their support, praising both Lamiez and her mother for their strength.
One fan, @ZaneleK, described Lamiez as “so strong,” while @Thabo_M reflected on the painful reality of racism even within families.
Another fan, @LeratoD, celebrated Lamiez’s story as a reminder that love triumphs over all obstacles.
Today, Lamiez has found success in her career, and her personal life is filled with joy and fulfillment.
She’s married to rapper Khuli Chana, and together, they’re raising their adorable son, Leano.
Lamiez’s journey serves as a powerful reminder that love, resilience, and self-acceptance can help overcome even the most difficult of circumstances.
