For Tisha Thompson and Amber Delille, sisterhood has always been more than a shared upbringing—it’s been a steady, evolving source of strength, guidance, and love.
Growing up, their relationship naturally took on many forms. Tisha, as the older sister, stepped into a role that blended protector, mentor, and confidant. Amber looked up to her with deep admiration, shaped by both the big moments—summer trips, shared experiences—and the quiet consistency of everyday presence.
Over time, that dynamic shifted. What once felt like guidance flowing in one direction has become something more mutual. Today, their bond is defined not only by sisterhood, but by a friendship rooted in trust, honesty, and an unspoken understanding that grounds them both.
That foundation was profoundly shaped by the person who first modeled it for them: their mother.
Described by both sisters as a radiant presence, their mom was someone who left a lasting impression on everyone she met. She was deeply kind, endlessly supportive, and fully present in the lives of her daughters—cheering them on through milestones, nurturing their ambitions, and building a home centered around love and connection.
Losing her to breast cancer changed everything.
But in the face of that loss, Tisha and Amber found themselves drawing even closer. What had always been a strong bond became something deeper—an anchor through grief, and a shared way of carrying their mother’s legacy forward.
“She lives in us,” they reflect. “In how we love, how we show up, and how we move through life.”
That legacy is not abstract. It is active. It shows up in how they care for their families, how they support one another, and how they approach their work.
For Tisha, it also became the foundation for building LYS Beauty.
After years in the beauty industry, she recognized a gap—one that required people to choose between high-performance products and clean ingredients, between inclusion and accessibility. But beyond solving a market need, LYS was born from something more personal.
The loss of her mother reframed how Tisha understood confidence as more than something surface-level, but as something deeply tied to self-worth, care, and resilience. That perspective is embedded in the brand’s name itself: Love Your Self.
It’s a philosophy shaped by lived experience. A reminder to prioritize your health, your well-being, and your sense of self.
That same ethos is reflected in the brand’s values—intentional care, inclusivity, and empowerment—all of which trace back to the environment Tisha and Amber were raised in. A home where love was constant, presence mattered, and people were made to feel seen.
Today, those values extend beyond product and into purpose.
As a corporate partner of The Pink Agenda, LYS Beauty’s involvement is deeply personal. Supporting breast cancer research is not a peripheral initiative. It is a continuation of their mother’s story, and a way to transform loss into impact.
“This partnership is about honoring her legacy,” Tisha shares. “It’s about showing up for her, and for others who are walking a similar path.”
Through this work, both sisters have found a way to channel grief into something forward-moving. Not by minimizing what they’ve experienced, but by allowing it to inform how they live, lead, and support others.
Their message to those navigating similar journeys is clear: healing is not linear, but it is possible.
Even in the hardest moments, there is still light.
And through sisterhood, through community, and through purpose, that light has a way of finding its way back
