A little about Zay

Well this Being my 1st and only Blog (thus far), It seems only fair I should tell you
a little about who it is you will be journeying with as you delve a bit more into my world (or so I hope).

Many know me as Zay; although professionally, my name is Elizay Pierre-Louis... Umm yeah, let me help you out with that. It's, Eh-Lee-Zay Pierre-Louie (phonetically) ; just a few of my many monikers...lol!

Born and raised, on the streets of NYC. I recently (about 10 or 11 ears ago; maybe not so recent to some) discovered I had a gift for performing (primarily acting), and have since developed, and honed my skills to the point where now I am blessed enough to say I am living my dreams and am a working actor! Woo Hoo! How awesome is that! lol!

That being said, I wouldn't want you to get the wrong idea about me. Yes I love performing, and acting; It is a passion of mine, and a prominent focus in my life. I am much more than that. A young entrepreneur currently developing my own business, dealing with fashion, as I am a fan of style.

Also, currently a student of the Dharma, which, for those who don't know are the teachings of the Buddha; although I do not claim to be a Buddhist. A spiritual person I've studied different religions but do not consider myself religious. Rather... a seeker of truth, living a secular life... OOohh, I like the ring of that!

I work part time in a holistic care facility which i enjoy because I like work with alternative forms of healing and enjoy being of service. I also do volunteer work visiting hospice patients with a life expectancy of 6 months of less; offering comfort, support, compassion and any other kind of soothing presence I can. I suppose I do things like the volunteer work, and working in a holistic care center because of my own experiences with health Issue.  I live with the condition Sickle cell disease. An hereditary disease which causes massive pain crises and other health issues. I've face death a few times in the past, but those obstacles only helped me to recognize what (to me) is important in life, and to bolster my courage to go for what I want. Thus my life as an actor, and entrepreneur. I hate working for others and insist on living my life on my own terms. So overall,  I guess one could say I'm a bit of a fighter...lol. Although I suffer from sickle cell it does not define me, nor do I let it hinder me... Not a source of weakness but rather a source of my strength!

Well that is a bit of me in a nut shell... I choose to stop there, because as an actor... I do have a bit of an ego and can go on all day...lol! All that said... I'll get to the point of this blog. Mainly... it's my intention to inform, educate and entertain you all (and myself), by sharing my random thought, musings, experiences in the industry and such, all coming from an actors perspective. Hence the name inner Blog-o-logue, much like an inner monologue, you'll get a sneak peak into the world, or mind of an actor. And, while this Blog will not be only about acting and the industry or my career (yes, some stuff will be about that, but, there will be much more), it will come from that kind of slant or perspective, meaning more than likely, I will find a way to tie it in....lol

Hope you enjoy all, and please comment, question, add and subscribe for more. I am hoping to get to know you all in this journey as well! Thanks for joining me! See yah next time!
