Isabella Marie Garcia, or Isa, as she prefers to be called, is a writer and photographer living in her native swampland of Miami, Florida. She divides her time between working as a freelance arts and culture writer and a film and digital photographer. Her writing has appeared in publications such as The Miami New Times, The Art Newspaper, and So To Speak: A feminist journal of language and art. She’s heavily interested in work that challenges gender ideals, female sexuality, and brings taboo subjects up to the surface and hopes that her work, whether it be through written, visual, or spoken word, can help challenge even just one individual to see how important intersectionality is within our world and one’s own local community. When not writing or working the ins and outs of the contemporary art world, she can be found over-spending on 35mm film and tending to her mini-garden. Garcia received her Bachelor of Arts in English from Florida International University in 2019 and more information on her work can be found at isamxrie.com and anywhere through @isamxrie.

I'm a student at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, studying journalism and minoring in political science. I've reported on a wide range of issues, from seismic testing along the east coast to sexual assault among college students. I enjoy creating content that educates the public on lesser known issues that deserve more attention as well as writing stories/ producing videos that focus on subjects most people feel uncomfortable talking about. I've worked with the mayor of St. Augustine on various projects as well as reporters from CBS 12 in West Palm Beach, Florida, on a story about President Trump's "fake news" claims and their effects on what it's like to be a journalist during his presidency. I have also interned for Voice of America in Washington, D.C. for their documentary unit. We worked on a three-part series about the Parkland shooting that was published on VOA's website.
