Marielle Diala is an emerging NY-based author and poet on a mission to encourage her readers to be the best versions they can possibly be. Through poetic storytelling, she also aims to inspire people to believe in themselves, even in the face of hardship.

When she isn’t pouring her soul out onto paper, you can find this introverted writer coffeeshop hopping, reading poetry and fiction to her heart’s content, strumming her guitar, or binge-watching Marvel movies. To find out more about Marielle, follow her on Instagram: @caffeinated_lexico
