Isabelle Hardesty is a Miami native who uses her creative work to share her experiences growing up in South Florida. She is committed to creating rich and strong female characters in her books. Hardesty wants young people and women of color to see themselves in her novels and know they are a meaningful part of the world they’re in.

Hardesty received her BFA from Pratt Institute and has worked in NYC as an assistant fashion designer. Her rich and textured life experiences allow her to create characters and plots that engage readers. One common thread in all of her professional experiences is that storytelling is always king.   Quote: "I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept." - Angela Davis   Connect with Isabelle: Website: isabellehardesty.com IG: isabellehardestycreates   Show hashtag: #TrinaTalk
