We had the good fortune of connecting with Roxxi Zayas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Roxxi, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
I’m inspired by beautiful locations and the overall vibe they create — from the ambiance, design, and lighting to how a space makes you feel. That energy is what fuels my creativity and helps me bring a moment to life through content

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m fairly new to the content creation space and still learning day by day. It hasn’t always been easy — one of the biggest challenges has been finding ways to stand out in a space that’s so saturated. But I’ve learned that being authentic and staying true to what I love is what makes my content resonate most.

My goal has always been to encourage people to explore — whether it’s a cozy coffee shop or a hidden gem in the city. Living in Los Angeles, a place that’s such a rich melting pot of cultures and experiences, I constantly want to showcase the diversity that surrounds us. There’s so much more to discover beyond the usual, and I hope my content helps people see that.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Los Angeles is full of never-ending things to do, and I’d want to show my best friend the perfect mix of local gems and fun experiences. We’d start the morning at a cozy coffee shop in Koreatown to enjoy some ceremonial-grade matcha, then head to The Grove — there’s almost always a pop-up happening where you can mingle with brands and maybe even snag some freebies.

Midday, we’d grab a coffee from a local mom-and-pop or home-based shop to keep us energized. For lunch, we’d go for pizza at De La Nonna in DTLA, followed by some brewery hopping to unwind. And for dinner, nothing beats ending the day with an incredible meal at Bestia.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d love to dedicate this shoutout to my son — he’s my biggest motivation and the reason I keep pushing forward. I also want to give credit to my fellow mom friends who inspire me daily with their strength, creativity, and hustle. Being surrounded by other women balancing motherhood and passion is what keeps me grounded and driven.
