More than just a work portfolio, ‘Cata Balzano‘ is the canvas that displays the fruit of my creativity. This is the go-to platform for anyone looking to read about anything and everything regarding my career.
In this site, you will find my diverse talents combined into one place. My work covers everything from popular features, published content, on-camera work and opinions about diverse issues in various industries today. This multifaceted site offers thoughtful content for every reader, along with analysis and insider stories in two different languages—English and Español— but not without some wit along with them.
My writing doesn’t just capture headlines; it adds value through contemplation. In the Publications section, you’ll find cutting-edge news worldwide to personal stories published on various leading online news outlets, international platforms and entertainment media outlets. I have been writing for a range of reputable English and Spanish-language websites.
But wait, of course there’s more!
Curious readers can also follow three of my ambitious projects: “A WOC in Society,” “Cute Little Spots” and “With Love, Cata” – located under the Other Projects category.
“A WOC in Society” was born in 2020, during the protests that erupted after George Floyd’s murder. Seeing the racial inequality and feeling helpless, I navigated to the thing I do best: work and media. I desiced I would feature women – women of color, primarily black women – as they tell their stories and we (the viewers and I) sit back and listen. Through a series of interviews with extraordinary women of color worldwide, we hear the stories of those who are doing impactful things as they make it to the peak of their careers. In the fight for inclusivity in media for all women of color, a topic I’m highly passionate about, watching so many women who want nothing more than progress and inclusivity, I figured that my outlet and form of expression was the most effective way for me to help. Handing them the mic.
Readers can also dive into, “With Love, Cata,” my blog, online journal, and the place where I log in my stories, travels, reflections and pieces of my lifestyle. Here you get a sense of my dynamic and at times risqué life decisions. My passions are perfectly displayed within every post, and while some don’t go beyond the surface of the many things I like, you’ll find one or another in-depth personal piece in there that might just jerk a tear. In addition, I share my thoughts on life to inspire others who are going through similar struggles or need some encouragement in their journey toward success, and what that actually even means.
“Cute Little Spots” is an exclusive category that is currently part of the “With Love, Cata” brand. It was born after I continued to visit little, quaint and adorable places that most people wouldn’t know about. I figured, ‘why not write about them?’ And “Cute Little Spots” became the place where I displayed that very specific part of my travels: cute little restaurants, mom-and-pop shops, picturesque towns, corner shops and instagrammable gems we all love and can find in all sorts of unexpected places around the world.
The work of any individual is a never-ending story. As a result, my writing career has spanned across different platforms and genres. In the Press section of the site, you’ll find an array of interviews and features surrounding my career, my beliefs and the very principles that drove me to accomplishing to many career goals before the age of 30 – not that age matters, but I do believe I did it all very quickly and at a very young age. ‘Cata Balzano’ is the ultimate insider look at what makes me tick.
