Hey there,

Before introducing myself, I’d like to share something with you: I have been at war with my name all my life. It sounded “too strong and harsh” for me, and that’s why everybody calls me Lali since… well, since forever, actually. I over identified myself with that nickname (my high school hoodie and business cards can testify this) and my real name started slowly to disappear.

Lali.

¿Am I really Lali?

I just turned 30 and a lot has been changing for me lately.
Tiny things, such as getting a haircut.
And big things, like moving from Argentina to Germany.

In the midst of all of these identity self-redefinitions, I started thinking about Carla again. What’s the matter if it sounds “too strong”? Isn’t it about time I get her (and myself) back?

I’ll let it sound:

My name is Carla.

Always has and always will be.

This newsletter is written by me, Carla, and it’s the virtual space in which I’ll share on a monthly basis what I encounter during this personal and creative path I’m passing through. A path I decided to call minicarbono (because bonominilali, my old internet identity, was left behind at 29). I plan on doing a selection of tools, works, images and inspiring things which have served me well during that month and may be of use during your own creative path of self-discovery. Something like this:
