Hey ya’ll! I’m Alicia Renee, the woman behind Lo In The City. If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re on a journey of some sort, whether that’s of self-discovery, seeking deeper peace or just learning to truly put yourself first. Either way, you’re in the right place.
I’ve been in my little corner of the internet for quite some time and honestly, most of my life I’ve been ahead of the curve more times than I can count, and have paid the price for it — in relationships, family, in the quiet moments where you realize you’ve outgrown spaces that were never going to grow with you.
This blog started as a creative outlet. It’s become something more like a journal I don’t keep private. I write about the things most people think but don’t say — the situationships that lasted way too long, the family that shows up once success is visible, the exhausting performance of being okay when you’re not, the slow and imperfect work of actually healing.
I’m not on the other side of most of it. That’s kind of the point.
If you’re a woman navigating love, identity, grief, boundaries, and the particular loneliness of being the one who always figures it out — you’re in the right place. Pull up. Stay a while.
