A mother, DJ, entrepreneur, and community builder — there’s little Charissa Chioccarelli (
@charrisla ) can’t do.
We feature Charissa as our Culture editorial feature for this spring. As the founder of Isla Berlin (
@islaberlin ), she’s built a community-driven beauty brand that goes far beyond nails and tooth gems, hosting cultural events with brands like ASICS, Converse, Nike, The Hoxton, and Zalando. Through Isla Radio (
@isla.radio ), she also curates music and connects creative communities around the world.
As a friend of The PRINCE Edit, we asked Charissa to write a letter to her younger self. What followed was a deeply personal reflection on survival, motherhood, community, and believing in a life bigger than the one you were given.
