Alexia Nepola is a dynamic force as a style icon, multilingual entrepreneur, beauty expert, and proud Latina. Known as the "Cuban Barbie," Alexia is a true reflection of Miami – bold, glamorous, resilient, and full of heart.
A longtime powerhouse in the city's cultural and social scene, she led Venue Magazine — a national luxury lifestyle publication spotlighting Latin fashion, celebrity, and culture — for over a decade. Blending her editorial eye with business savvy, Alexia went on to launch Alexia + Frankie's Beauty Bar in Surfside, Miami Beach, quickly earning a loyal following and becoming a staple in the local beauty community.
Alexia's journey also includes time spent in Madrid, Spain, where she finished high school and began college before returning to Miami to earn both her B.A. and a Master's in exceptional student education. Her early career was dedicated to teaching children with learning and emotional differences in Miami-Dade's public schools — a chapter that speaks to her deep compassion and commitment to making a difference.
