Poetry
and the life
around it

I am Angelica Silva. A Mexican-American writer, creative, and strategic thinker exploring the stories we carry and the world we can build.

For Life.

Hands holding an open poetry book in front of green foliage and pink and red flowers.

The places we leave.
The stories we inherit.
The lives we make.

A journey through migration, memory, and the search for belonging. For Life brings poetry and memoir into conversation, tracing the experiences that shape us and the stories we carry across generations.

Written from a Mexican-American perspective, this is an invitation to look back with tenderness, find a voice in the present, and imagine what comes next.

About Angelica

A life with
more than
one language.

Emily Dickinson & Me

I’m Angelica, a Mexican-American writer and poet based in London. My creative work begins with questions of identity, migration, and belonging: what we inherit, what we carry with us, and what we choose to make our own.

These worlds share a thread: a curiosity about society, an instinct for connecting complex topics through a human-first approach, and a belief that telling our story can change what becomes possible.

Angelica

Selected work.

Alongside my writing, I work across strategy, operations, and technology, and volunteer my time in science and creative communities.

Professional work · 2020–2026

International Operations at Circle

At Circle, an internet financial infrastructure company and issuer of USDC, I worked across chief-of-staff responsibilities and programme leadership, helping teams turn broad goals into coordinated action across EMEA and APAC. My work included establishing corporate and licensed entities, obtaining regulatory licences, building new-hire onboarding programmes, merger and acquisition integrations, change management, and the policies and procedures that support cross-functional teams.

Non-profit programme work

Volunteering with AuthentiSci

I volunteer my time through non-profit programme work with AuthentiSci, a UK charity connecting scientific media with expert researchers. I support ongoing conversations about public trust in science, and I’m interested in how scientific knowledge shapes public life, how trust is built or challenged, and whose voices influence decisions about science and technology.

Creative platform · Co-founded in 2020

Ixhibit

A creative platform sharing art and poetry by artists of colour. That spirit of making space for more voices still shapes my work.

Poetry performance · November 2024

Performed on Voices Radio

I performed with CrossWord Lyric on Voices Radio. Founded by Milli-Rose Rubin, the Camden-based poetry and music platform supports emerging voices through open mics and writing workshops.
