Isabelle is the only other girl in poetry club. Isabelle has a huge blond Afro and constantly wears frilly skirts with Jordans. She’s upfront and loud about everything, and Xiomara can tell that she likes Nicki Minaj. Her upfront nature appeals to Xiomara, so Xiomara accepts her invitation to eat lunch with her in the photography room.
