Amaya (amayaelizabeth_ ) is the ultimate it girl. A Brooklyn native with a soft heart, a fierce spirit, and a story that goes way beyond the spotlight.

In this interview, she opens up about growing up in NYC, why she chose to become a nurse, and what it truly meant to stand in her own power. From heartbreak and healing to learning the difference between love and attention, Amaya shares the lessons that shaped her—along with what’s next, from her music debut to everything beyond the spotlight.

“Love Island taught me that sometimes people don’t have the best intentions but all that matters is my intention & I know that it was pure. The reason why I was so vulnerable after the show was because that was my first time dating anyone after my ex passed away in December 2024. I took a long pause from dating to heal myself, heal from the abuse and deal with the grief. Going to Fiji was the first time I opened up again, which is why I was so emotional.”
