Jenna Ortega’s Transformation From Disney Channel Star To Scream Queen – Looper

In addition to being an actor, philanthropist, activist, and brand ambassador, Ortega has proven herself as a talented author, having published her first book in 2021. “It’s All Love: Reflections for Your Heart & Soul” is a non-fiction self-help book filled with quotes and anecdotes penned by Ortega herself that aims to help its readers (mainly teenagers) deal with their mental health difficulties. Ortega discussed the book with J-14, saying, “‘It’s All Love’ is a collection of stories and lessons I’ve experienced while growing up in a non-traditional sense … I think a lot of what I’ve been through might be helpful or insightful for teens struggling with their identity,” adding that she’s “always been very passionate about writing.”

The first-time author cited her own struggles with mental health, saying “I’ve never addressed my aggressive struggle with my mental health, and I talk about that somewhere in this book. It’s weird, I’m not a very social person, but I also want to be as sincere as possible in all I do. And I think it might be nice for those who also have a hard time that they’re not alone.” Ortega reaffirmed the purpose of writing the book by saying, “Being a teenager is tough. If there’s anything I can do just to be a source of comfort or helpful in any way, it would bring me immense joy! People have been so kind towards me, and I want to return the favor.”
