L'Assemblage NYC: Introduction
Welcome to L'Assemblage NYC! An introduction from the author and what to expect.
Greetings all readers, welcome to the assembly!
I have gathered you here today to announce the launch of ‘L’Assemblage NYC’, a lifestyle newsletter discussing life in New York City, art, fashion/style, health, wellness, mindfulness, spirituality, and philosophy. Do not worry, we will have our fair share of hot topics and pop culture - I look forward to doing fashion week roundups, movie and music reviews, etc. I am excited to get creative with my newsletter ideas, doing photo diaries, and possibly including poetry and original pieces from myself and interactive/engagement elements so we can grow together and participate with one another.
The name ‘L’Assemblage’ (french - pronounced “luh-son-blahge”) came about from the word ‘assembly’, which I received when I was meditating on creating my newsletter. The word itself was so strange to me honestly! Putting grade school connotations aside and after sitting with it for longer, I felt as though it made perfect sense.
*Note: Unfortunately, this is not a French-language blog, or written in French - but I’m extremely open to having French-translated posts if the audience base permits! Much love to my French and francophone friends. <3
The secret is… I’m also doing this newsletter to remind myself of the knowledge I have acquired, how that has assembled me into the person I am, and how it has allowed change to occur in my life. I by no means am perfect, or would I even say the healthiest person, but I am dedicated to becoming my best self. In that pursuit, I sometimes lose myself due to the monotony of life, love, ample distractions, and literal weapons constructed by society, hellbent on keeping us complacent and downtrodden. This is something we all face and go through. Documenting how these tools have assisted me in figuring out this journey of life, as well as tools to build myself back up is my hope as well. Plus I want to learn more from my audience about what they do to build themselves, whether it be mentally, physically, or style-wise (because we need to know where good thrifting and designer consignment in NYC is hiding!). This newsletter serves as a safe space.
My ultimate vision for L’Assemblage is to assemble a community of like-minded individuals who are dedicated to improving themselves as a whole, internally as well as externally, so that we can uphold and strengthen our communities. You can radiate that outward when you feel good about yourself, embodying health, beauty, security, and love for yourself. Before discussing style, fashion, and building material assets and aesthetics, knowledge of oneself and their values has to be known.
With that said, I am so excited to share more! Subscribe below to join the assembly and share with friends! Much love and gratitude, I’ll see you soon!
