Welcome — I'm Cidalisa De Braga (but you can call me Lisa)

Writer. Memoirist. Storyteller of the quiet, ordinary moments that shape a life.

I write about love, resilience, and the unexpected ways life asks us to begin again. My stories come from real places — two countries, two languages, and one life that refused to stay small.

I'm glad you found your way here.

My debut memoir This Time, I Stayed: A Memoir of Enduring Love — Available now

A story about returning — to love, to truth, and to the woman I was always becoming.
