The Pen Behind The Page

Before ISLP, I was LoudPen. Just me and my pen. I graduated from Hampton University with a bachelor’s in English and one thing on my mind: to become The Loudest Pen Ever.

So I did what everybody does: started a blog and moved to New York. My little blog ended up taking me places. I covered New York Fashion Week and landed two sponsored press trips to Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

NYC gave me an Empire State of Mind, and I brought it with me to Dallas. That's where my pen found its way into marketing via social media, copywriting, and tech writing.

Then I decided to publish my ink. In 2015, I released my first book, #MakeUrPenLOUD: How To Be A Lifestyle Blogger, and ISLP was born. One book became three once I published The Loudest Pen Ever and The Pen Planner. After that, I launched Pennies & Pens, my vegan fashion line.

The more I created, the more ISLP became exactly what I wanted it to be: a place where ideas could become real products.

Around that time, K-Pop entered the chat. Discovering MONSTA X, my ult (fangirl code for my favorite group), sparked a love for K-Pop that took me to concerts in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Seoul, and Tokyo. Experiencing K-Pop around the world was life-changing. It taught me that music marketing starts with the emotional connection between an artist and their fans.

That's when the ink started connecting, like pages bound into a book. I already knew how to write, create content, and market ideas. K-Pop showed me how artists could reach fans across cultures, countries, and languages. Naturally, I started thinking about how I would do it differently.

And that's how ISLP found its lane. Today, I work with artists to #MakeUrFansLOUD through content and experiences while continuing to create original ink of my own.
