Z Zoccolante

Z Zoccolante, born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, spent her childhood merging reality and fantasy by blending the worlds of books, writing, and playing "make pretend." At a young age, her once light blonde hair proved a favorite among the Japanese, landing her numerous modeling jobs and print work. Z's inclination towards acting and film has allowed her to reach others who struggle wit…h substance and behavioral addiction. Z's experience with eating disorder recovery led her to write and direct the award-winning film Contain the Cry, where the power of secrets is silence. Her memoir Throwing Up Rainbows, and the subsequent recovery guide, can be found on Amazon. Her podcast Throwing Up Rainbows is available on iTunes or at ThrowingUpRainbows.com. Z practices as a therapist specializing in freedom from addiction and trauma. In her free time, she loves creating, adventuring, and telling stories. One of her dreams is to star as the villain in a dark fairy tale.
