About me

layla maria, 25 year-old afro-brazilian aspiring author based partly in Brazil and partly around the world.

thanks to my unusual job on board a cruise ship, i get plenty of time to dedicate to art and culture, culminating in an evergrowing need to share my thoughts about the world with those around me, and instead of continuing to bother my friends and loved ones, i decided to kill two birds with one stone and write a blog!

here you’ll find everything from film reviews, politics, literature and random thoughts about my personal life and the world around me. grab a cup of tea, or coffee, and share a little bit of your time with me!

and yes, i can yap about everything… even the kitchen sink.

I’m layla maria

Welcome to the kitchen sink, my own personal yap journal where you can find everything from media and pop culture to politics, with several pivots to talk about my own personal life and experiences. i hope this isn’t as boring as i imagine it’ll be, and that we can share a nice little moment together!

Let’s connect
