Lakia Holmes is the senior producer of TNT Sports’ Diversified Sports Content, an award-winning journalist, and a single mom. By choice.
After delaying her dream of becoming a mom to focus on her career, she decided at the age of 37 that it was time. When she learned her only chance to have a baby would be through IVF, she took the leap and started the journey of becoming a single mom by choice.
Lakia soon found herself navigating the world of infertility as a Black woman, confronting the challenges of finding a Black sperm donor, and facing how her choice would impact her career.
With the help of donor sperm, Lakia gave birth to her daughter, Isla, in May 2024.
Most recently featured on Progyny’s “This is Infertility” podcast, Lakia is now using her platform and personal experiences to tell her story and bring fertility awareness to the Black community.
