Delphia Bizzell was born in Louisville Kentucky. After graduating from high school she worked as a customer service specialist. Delphia was also the co-manager of Kmart in the pantry department.  In Louisville, Delphia lived with her mother and husband.

Once her mother passed Delphia, she and her husband found themselves homeless. They both moved to Boston hoping to live with extended family, but when that did not work out. They ended up living on the streets and in the shelters for 2 years.  Once they secured housing, Delphia attended her first BAChome meeting and found a love of advocacy and sharing her story.  Now Delphia is a strong and powerful speaker who has addressed small audiences to large public gatherings.
