Bio
Zeynep was born in Istanbul to university professor parents. She was raised in the most beautiful and lively city which was almost like another family member to her. Thanks to her parents she spent a lot of time around the brightest turkish minds. Her house was always buzzing with activity and visitors. Just like the city. Zeynep never knew quiet. She embodied everything hectic, passionate, lively and loud ever since she was a little girl.
She grew up around intellectuals, activists, artists and they all inspired her. She greatly admired her parents and their friends. They all encouraged the little girl to develop her voice and her artistic talents. They enthusiastically posed for portraits or debated with Zeynep about how unfair it was that she had to go to bed while everyone else was staying up. She had a beautiful childhood full of love and stimulation.
Inspired by her parents and their friends, she had a passion for politics and naturally she chose to study journalism. She wanted her voice to be heard, through a pen but also through paint. She started to graph at the age of 9 years old. Even before that, if you counted the walls of her family's house. What she could not say with her words, she would paint. Istanbul became her canvas. Whenever she would travel, she also made sure to leave a mark in any city she visited.
In 2017, at 19 years old, Zeynep moved to England to study journalism since there was no prospect for her in her own country. Since 2016, free press was basically dead in Turkey. She also had seen her own parents and many of their friends get arrested or flee the country. She knew she could not remain in Istanbul anymore. So with a student visa, she started a new life in England. She planned on one day running a turkish media based outside of the country so her voice and many others could still be heard.
She also kept graffing. After Istanbul, her works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls, and bridges throughout the world. She started to get noticed and took the pseudonymous Banksy. She uses a blog to claim her works. She knows that she has to remain anonymous to retain her freedom of speech. Only her family and a selected few knows that Zeynep is Banksy.
She is enraged that her work is sold for millions sometimes and more often than not without her permission. She chose the streets and buildings as her canvas so her work would belong to the people. Yet greedy capitalists tear down walls to make a profit of her art. However whenever her trusted agency sells her work, Zeynep donates the money to fund NGOs, people and projects. She especially funds freedom of speech, the arts and war relief.
At 22 she graduated and started to work freelancing and published articles on a blog, until she gathered enough attention to get hired by BBC Turkish. While working for the British news channel, Zeynap kept her blog and was also pretty active on social medias. A few months ago, she received an offer from a billionaire who wanted to start a new media and offered her to cover Turkey and the middle east.
Now she lives in Los Angeles and tries to navigate that new world, so far away from home.
Career
Zeynep worked for BBC turkish from 2021 to 2023. She knows work for a brand new media : tba. She is also Banksy.
" I can't believe this crap ! " Lukas threw the script away and massaged his forehead. Everytime he thought that he had read the worst, riverdale's writers found a way to prove him wrong. Just how bad a show could get before someone pulled the plug and would cancel it ? If it was not for Miray he would have bailed a long time ago, no matter what his contract said. He hated his work so much. " How am I supposed to keep a straight face saying that means you haven't known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school football." Really he should get an oscar.
" Thanks man." After putting the weights down, Lukas patted Arlo on the back, not caring that they were both drenched in sweat. " It's been a while since I worked out that hard. " He had not realised how much he had missed it. Hopefully his shoulder would not torture him too much in the next few hours and days. Lukas had taken the habit of avoiding to put too much strain on his wounded shoulder but perhaps it was finally healing. " I fucking miss it." And baseball. He would give anything to be able to play again. " Please don't take anything for granted. " One's life could change in just a moment. His had.
" You must be so proud of Miray and her following in your footsteps." Artemis knew that her own father's heart was full of pride. Scott had always been the most supportive and loved that his daughter wanted to take after him. " Perhaps you could even play in a movie together ! That would be so cute ! " The blonde dreamed of doing a movie with one of her siblings. She had not had that chance yet. " Or you could guest star in Riverdale ! You could play a villain. How exciting ! " Artemis had never played one and she would love to. She always got stereotypically cast as a nice girl.
" Come on Fifi, let's go before all the good spots are taken." Artemis gently nudged her friend. She wanted to be seated close enough to the screen. " And don't let go of your hat and sunglasses. We can't be recognised. " Although Artemis doubted that would happen for her. It was more likely someone would notice Faye who was way more famous than her. " I want us to mingle and just be normal girlies." It was the perfect place for that as everyone would be focused on the screen or their dates. " And catch a good romcom." Preferably with nobody they knew staring in it. That tended to spoil the whole thing. " And some fresh air." Artemis loved outdoor movies. She always found it whimsical. It was way better than being in a theatre.
" You again." Hazel forced a laugh when she spotted Daisy. It seemed that lately she kept running into the other woman everywhere she went. Which was kind of unsettling but the singer would not let it show. She had too much pride for that. " Careful or I might think you're stalking me and report you to the police. " Or have someone write a song about it. It could make for a great hit and even greater press. " But we both know you love handcuffs anyway. " Memories almost brought a blush on Hazel's face.

" Have you given more thought about our last conversation ? " Hazel was nothing if tenacious. She would not let Jake forget about her proposal. Some collaboration with 3DC3 would be amazing for her. It would single her out from her group and create serious heat. Kpop was all the rage. Perhaps it could also help the spice girls to set a foot in a new market and invite new featuring. " We could even do a verse in tamil. It'd be good business for you and your boys to have a hit in India." And good business for Hazel as well. That way she would check so many boxes and spread her web.
" Can you believe that I got called the Taylor Swift of girl bands ?! " Honestly Hazel was both flattered and annoyed. Flattered because the comparison, even if it was for sexist dating history reason, gave her more traction. It added fuel to her fame. However she was annoyed because she was not someone's copycat, she was the first Hazel Bhagyaraj. " A girl has like four or five exes and it's all damning. One of them wasn't even real ! " And thank god. She was so much better than Johnny Kennedy. " Anyway, I looked good in the pictures they posted. " One more thing going on for her.
" If this isn't the prettiest Kennedy !" Kudjo greeted Elle with a quick hug. " What have you been up to lately gorgeous ? Breaking any hearts besides mine ? " He chuckled. It crossed his mind that he should probably dial down the flirting now that he was dating Mia but old habits died hard. It did not really do any harm anyway. Boys would be boys.
" Holy shit ! " Kudjo whistled appreciatively as he looked at Mia, his eyes trailing her whole silhouette. She looked gorgeous in that new gown. But again she would probably have looked amazing wearing a rubbish bag. " You want to kill me woman ! " It definitively had been one of his best ideas to go to her dress fitting. Not only would it earn him good boyfriend points but he got to get an eyeful . A double win. He felt so clever and pleased with himself. " I don't know which one I like best. They all look fabulous. " It did not take much to dazzle him anyway. " Although I prefer when you wear nothing at all. "
" You know Cade just took me to Italy because I wanted a nice gelato. " And spritz and pizza. " He even bought me shoes. " She showed Atticus the new pair she was wearing. She doubted that he would have noticed. " Aren't they nice ? " As if the shoes were any different from the hundred pairs she already had in her dressing room. " You'll have to step up your game if you want to stay my favourite." She teased her brother before sticking her tongue out at him. " I accept diamonds, properties, holidays, books written about how amazing I am ..." All things she already had. Apart from the book but surely if Atticus ever wrote his memoirs he could say nice things about her.
" I'm thinking about my met gala look and how to not be boring like most men on the red carpet. " Male fashion could be so restrictive. Most suits were uninteresting. Kudjo needed more freedom and more flare. " Do you think I can stick a leaf over my penis and call this a look ?" It would certainly show off his muscles. And that would have people talk. Both things he was fond of. " Are you even going ? " He remembered to ask his sister. He tended to be so focused on himself at times. He was used to have all the attention as the baby of the family and he had to remember that he was not the centre of the world sometimes.
