La Rosa ~ La Loba 

i am Isabela “Jesucia LaLoba” Figueroa, a 30-year-old native from El Barrio (East Harlem), New York City. i am a mother. i am a lonely girl. i am biracial/multiethnic queer woman. i am a spiritual being; i am an Aries. i am an artist who is scared to produce their art; i Am Art. i am Queen of the (bathroom) mirror selfies. i am a lover: hopeless romantic. i am a cynic: judgmental hater. i am crippled by my anxieties and fears, yet in love with the messiness of what it means to be human; i am human. My work is about as confusing as i am, but power does lay somewhere in there even if my pen/voice shakes.

Jesucia LaLoba was born in the part of my mind that feels strong about itself (occasionally and randomly). Since the inception of LaLoba, she goes back and forth between fighting the power and hiding under a rock. She is deeply passionate about bodily autonomy, equitable society, and of course, alluring aesthetics. Jesucia LaLoba: the saintly sinner. She is human.
