April Diaz Dreams of a Girl’s World

Young April Diaz, who sported short hair, a unibrow, and a mustache (claiming her mom felt waxing was unnecessary), was inspired by muses that brought out her inner child: Lizzie McGuire, Zoey 101, That's So Raven, and Tumblr. They never failed to remind her of the glitter and pink and slumber parties she was missing out on. After growing up as an outsider and being raised in a

strict Hispanic family, April created Girlsworld512 to rejuvenate the teenage nostalgia she never had, for she believed that you don't need to look a certain way to feel girly or like the color pink. Everyone is welcome at Girlsworld512. Except for boys, of course.
