About Me

Hi Holy Girls,

It’s been a little bit since I wrote my last blog… but I’ve been praying about what to write because there’s so much that’s been happening and that I feel like God has been speaking to me. I think the most important thing I can say to you now though is to just tell you a little bit more about myself… after all, I am just a random girl on the internet asking you to join my community, shop my designs, and read the words I have to say. So maybe let’s start to build some trust between each other? 🤍

My name is Angelica, some people call me Jelly and others call me Angel. I guess now you know me as “Holy Girl”.

Whatever you prefer honestly.

I'll try not to make this too long because I have a lot I could share due to the wild journey that God has brought me on but I’ll do my best to give you a sense of who I am.

I currently live in Los Angeles, CA.🌴 But I’m originally from San Francisco. 🌁  I was raised as a Christian and I had multiple encounters with God as a child. Although, I didn’t really have a personal relationship with God (I wasn’t fully surrendered to Him) until I hit rock bottom in college.

I went to Academy of Art University to become a Fashion Designer (oddly enough God did tell me to go there, even when I didn’t really know Him yet).

I often had questions about God and why He had certain rules, but many of the answers I received were “Because it’s in the Bible.” which didn’t really explain anything to me nor did it help me understand any of God’s principles. I tried to look for the answers myself in all the wrong places and ended up so broken and alone. I cried out to Him and I asked Him “how can I know you and speak to you daily? I don’t want to just have random encounters with you every few years… I want to talk to you daily if you’re real?” and then He spoke back!!!

He said, “You’re either with me or you’re in the world, choose.” So obviously I said yes to Him. I started to ask Him all of my questions and He actually answered them. He broke down everything I was told about Him and then just let me get to know Him for myself! It was amazing! I sought to know Him daily and He met me with so much love and grace. Before I knew it, He led me out of the pit I got myself into and He removed all of the lies that the enemy had tried to plant in me.

I’m pure, I’m lovely, I’m adored, I’m precious, and I’m God’s beloved Daughter.

This is the truth He began to speak into me.

He took me on a crazy faith journey! He began making promises to me just because He loved me! The moment I graduated college, He asked me one simple question. “What do you think about moving to LA?”

Now, being a fashion girlie I had always wanted to go to New York. So LA (especially being their Nor Cal rival) wasn’t exactly what I had hoped He would say. But after taking two weeks to think and pray on it, I decided to trust God.

2 months later I moved to a city I had never been to before and where I didn’t know a single person.

The 4 promises God made me when entering LA were that He was going to give me these:

1. A community / church full of young people who are also on fire for God.❤️🔥
2. Success in my career / my own business. 💼
3. My own apartment/home.🏡
4. A husband. 💍

This was almost 4 years ago! May of 2022.

And today I can say that He came through on every single promise. 🥹 ❤️

Not even a month in, He led me to my home church🩷 A community that has loved me, nurtured me, and blessed me immensely. I didn’t know so many people were on the same journey of leaving everything behind to follow Jesus!!

I had my first job right outside of college, a 3D Fashion Designer for Yeezy Gap. It didn’t last long though. Just a short few months. I actually lost my apartment. The enemy was loud in my head telling me that everything God promised was a lie and that I was better off going back to my toxic SF life. But I chose to trust God no matter what. I was homeless for a month (God totally provided for me through it all. I got to see miracles of supernatural provision.) He told me “someone is going to open up their home to you.” and sure enough a lovely woman of God did. I lived with her for a whole year, rent free, in Los Angeles. WHAT!? Yeah you read that right. He told me He wanted me to focus on building my own brand… I was scared to tell my nice roommate but she trusted God and decided to put her trust in me. THANK YOU JESUS because that was so bold of her!!! In turn God used the whole year to completely change both of our lives. When you learn to receive, God uses it to not only bless you, but to bless others as well.

10 months in, I got a job (He finally allowed me to). I worked at Crossroads Thrift Store as a sales associate. 3 months after that, I got a job as an assistant fashion designer at Forever21. I don’t even remember applying to the job yall!!! They just called me one day and interviewed me, a week later I got the job. 🤯 Crazy because I had interviewed for another assistant job 1 month prior to this, and I turned it down because I didn’t feel the Lord on it. Everyone thought I was foolish to not accept.

BUT GOD.

Forever21 was everything I prayed for!!!

He used the people there to accelerate me and teach me so so much! My team was amazing which is really hard to come by in the Fashion Industry.

And in the midst of all of that, I had become best friends with this guy at church. His name being Elisha. We became friends in 2023, 1 year after moving to LA.

We started going to our church around the same time actually.

Honestly it was purely platonic on both ends. God kept telling me that my husband was right in front of me but I couldn’t see him…

The night that I got my job at Forever 21, he came over to my apartment to celebrate with me and it was that night that both of our feelings for each other came out. Long LONG LOOOONG story short, we started dating December of 2023.

God orchestrated it all.

There’s so much to me and my husband’s story… yall wouldn’t believe me if I told you all of the God details in it.

We just got married in October of 2025.

3 months after starting at Forever 21, I finally got my own apartment.

I worked there until they shut down forever, no pun intended. LOL.

My next job after that started right away. I JUMPED 2 LEVELS!!! My director and designer above me recommended me to work as a full time Designer! I was an assistant you guys… It goes:

1. Assistant
2. Associate
3. Designer
4. Senior

I skipped Associate and went straight into Designer. I technically worked my way into Associate though in Forever 21 pretty quickly. But let me make this clear, it typically takes minimum 8 years of experience to get to Designer. He did it in 1.

AND THAT’S ON GOD’S ACCELERATION!!!!

The next couple of jobs I had as a designer were pretty toxic (the norm in this industry.) I hated it. It wasn’t creative at all. The people were so manipulative and the jobs were extremely stressful. I saw how God was using me in these places but I was also waiting for His timing on when to leave and do my own brand / business.

I needed a creative outlet so I began creating stuff for Holy Girl. Not really thinking much of it until God himself was like “GIRL” hahaha or something like that.

He told me to start building.

So here we are.

I quit my last job just a couple months ago (January 2026).

With my husband’s support/agreement to take a leap of faith and with God’s go ahead, I am now having full faith by going full time on Holy Girl.

I say full faith because we are in a tight spot financially. It was a huge risk to leave my job but when it comes to God, I know it’s not a risk if He’s asking you to do something. I mean He came through on every single promise He made already. He never failed me! Why would He start now?

I got the community, I got the jobs (plus the acceleration!), I got the husband, and we moved into our own apartment just 2 blocks from the beach! And now I got the business. You can’t tell me God isn’t real and that He isn’t good. But more than anything, He’s completely transformed me. He’s showed me a love so deep. The promises are awesome, but I’ve found that nothing compares to His sweet love and to know Him personally / intimately.

I have enough history with God to know that His promises are “yes and amen,” and His plans are for our good. He’s our provider and although it can be scary to walk on water, I just have to keep my eyes on Jesus.

I have big plans for Holy Girl. I know His are even greater.

This is why Holy Girl exists: To show girls and women everywhere that being a daughter of God is so precious, sweet, and lovely. He cares for us in such a special and unique way. You don’t have to strive to know Him. You just have to seek Him with all of your heart and He will show Himself and prove Himself to you 🤍 I pray that Holy Girl reflects what it truly means to be His daughter.

Dear Abba,

I pray that whomever is reading this right now would be stirred up with faith to ask you the hard questions, to trust you no matter what, and that they would have confidence in knowing your voice. May your spirit of peace fall upon them right now in Jesus name. I thank you for being the author of their story and for creating them for such a time as this. Send your angels to shield them from the lies of the enemy and I pray that you would pour out your love upon them like never before in the mighty name of Jesus I pray,

Amen 🙏
