Alizé Utteryn
Born in Cayenne, French Guiana, and raised in Paris, I moved to the United States in 2009 to pursue a new challenge — leaving everything behind to follow my American dream.
Starting from scratch was difficult, but I never gave up. Every obstacle became a stepping stone.
If I had to describe myself in a few words, I’m passionate about people. I’m a genuine, honest, ambitious, adventurous, and hard-working woman who never shies away from risk. I'm deeply driven by performance, fueled by purpose, and anchored in excellence.
I never settle for less, because I believe in pushing boundaries. I thrive in adversity — it’s often when I rise the highest.
To me, nothing is impossible when you believe in yourself — no matter what others think.
My mission is to build one of the most influential international media platforms — a space that uplifts others, shares powerful stories, celebrates cultural diversity, and inspires the next generation to dream big and go further.
“Risk is life itself. You can only risk your life — and if you don’t, you’re not truly living.”
Today, I’m proud to be a recognized journalist, accredited at the United Nations, and a proud member of the National Association of Black Journalists.
I serve as the CEO of AlizéLaVie Media and the founder of AlizéLaVie Magazine — a bilingual, multicultural international publication that champions diversity and global culture.
I also lead AlizéLaVie Agency, a business and marketing consultancy that supports brands, entrepreneurs, and institutions around the world.
