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 always 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.
In 2020, I became an indie author of three self-published books: "Her Heart Song," "The Light Inside," and "Seeing Feelings," a picture book.
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.
