Elizabeth’s Inspiration
Women in Culture
I’m always so inspired by women who achieve great things in culture and the arts. They show a new way forward and bring an often-overlooked voice into the mainstream. They’ve been saying for years “The Future is Female.” I want to document it!
New York Heritage
I wouldn’t be who I am without having grown up in the Bronx. I owe so much to this city, and see new and wonderful things every time I set foot out my door and onto the streets. There’s so much to follow, and to inspire you here. I want to show it to the world.
The Latina Experience
In addition to being a New Yorker, I am also, more specifically, a Nuyorican: someone with Puerto Rican heritage, but who was born in New York City. It’s such a specific culture, with so many connections to important trends and public figures active right now.
