Welcome to the new Izzy Lala!
Izzy Lala blog was originally started to express my passion for the arts – to include poetry as well as visual art. Through the arts I have been able to express my story (including that of mental health) and hopefully share inspiration through it.
This new phase of Izzy Lala will expand to focus on culture and the arts, fashion and inspiration.
My journey as a poet and writer began as a little girl. Growing up, I always gravitated towards ethnic culture and minority-influenced arts. Being raised in a neighborhood predominantly minority, and being Latina myself, I gravitated towards the arts rooted in the history and culture of these underrepresented groups. Underground hip hop, black and Hispanic poetry and art were all influential to me in my youth and eventually lead me to becoming an artist and writer myself.
So, as a performing artist, visual artist, writer, fashion-enthusiast and learner, I have decided to combine all these elements into one entity – the Izzy Lala blog. Here, I will share articles and blogs related to these topics. I hope you will join me on this journey through culture and the arts, fashion and inspiration.
Thank you for being here.
