“I care deeply about encouraging and empowering people to persevere and pursue what’s paramount to true happiness in healthy ways, such as embracing equality, diversity, inclusion, integrity, virtues, values,” said Marianna, and this is made clear on her website www.lilmakmarialena.com.


She’s been spreading positive messages in her music and wearable affirmations to motivate peers and younger generations to recognize the importance of doing better, and to remind them to do so. She has created apparel with quotes from her songs that serve as a moral compass to enlighten people and raise awareness.


Marianna revealed her unlimited versatility in the couture industry with creative flair and panache. At a young age, she crafted an award-winning headdress mask showcased at the Craft & Folk Art Museum of Los Angeles. Her headdress was inspired by Mardi Gras, Roman emperors’ crowns, Greek soldiers’ helmets, and the Brazilian carnival. She has also designed and sewed Victorian-style couture, theater costumes, and jewelry for performances and photo or video shoots.

As a strong advocate for human rights, equality, social justice, and children’s diverse education, she loves empowering girls and women. Marianna endeavors to create a better future for her four-year-old daughter.
