mypurplephernalia

Make yourself at home—this is a safe space for finding wonder and joy. I’m learning to write not solely from pain, but from purpose. If you’re on a similar journey, I welcome you to join me.

My name is Ke’Ilah Collins, but you can call me Lala. I’m a writer and artist building a brand rooted in faith, storytelling, and self-expression.

MyPurplePhernalia is my digital home—a creative collective of everything I love: poetry, illustration, storytelling, and soul-centered content that reflects a life lived deeply and intentionally.

I believe there’s a writer within everyone. Each person has a unique story and expression that speaks from a divine purpose. Prose, to me, is simply the dialogue between soul and purpose.

A story is told by our lives every day—by the way we live, love, and believe.
And even if we lose our way or lose ourselves, we can find the path again by living purposefully.

Here’s to never losing our faith or imagination—because everything begins with an idea.

I’m sure you can guess: I’m obsessed with purple. To me, it’s the color of a beautiful mind and life. It expresses dignity, depth, transformation, and a touch of shyness.

MyPurplePhernalia exists to empower bold, purpose-driven people to live authentically and create art with intention. Whether I’m performing, writing a poem, or sharing a vulnerable moment on my blog or podcast—I’m here to speak life into what the world often overlooks.

Let’s Build Together

This site is more than a portfolio—it’s an invitation.
Thank you for being here. You’re not just a visitor—you’re part of the story.

I collaborate with sustainable brands, creatives, and visionaries ready to make an impact. If that’s you, let’s connect.

Here is our art and self-expression—to the God who brings all the little pieces of our lives together in one stunning arc.

Here is where wonder and prose bleed purpose.

”Then her soul sat on her lips, and language flowed, from what source I cannot tell.”

Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre)
