Who I Am: My Journey as Wizard Liz
My real name is Lize Dzjabrailova, though most people know me as Wizard Liz. I'm 26 years old, a Belgian content creator and influencer of Chechen descent, born and raised in Antwerp. I didn't become famous through trending dances or comedy videos. Instead, I built my following by speaking intentionally about self-love, emotional discipline, and personal empowerment. When I started creating content in 2021, I never imagined it would reach the millions of people it does today.
Now I have over 8 million subscribers on YouTube, more than 8 million followers on TikTok, and over 5 million on Instagram. What started as a quiet mission to share my truth has become a movement. My content is deeply personal. I want people to really hear what I'm saying. I talk about mental health, confidence, relationships, body image, and the pressures society places on us, especially on women.
I'm very open about my own struggles, including recovering from an eating disorder, because I believe that vulnerability and authenticity are what create real connection. I'm intentional about what I share publicly and what I keep sacred. I believe that mystery and privacy are part of remaining magnetic. What I will say is that I have a white cat named King Snowie, and he's one of my greatest joys. More importantly, I live by the values I preach, emotional strength, high standards, and never settling.
Life hasn't always been easy. In May 2025, I experienced one of the most painful moments of my life when I discovered that my fiancé, American YouTuber Landon Nickerson, had cheated on me. He created a fake Snapchat account to engage with other women, and I was four months pregnant when I found out. It would have been easy to react with anger and hatred, to encourage my followers to attack him. Instead, I chose to remain composed and asked people not to send him hate.
That's who I am, someone who practices emotional discipline even in her darkest moments. Later, I decided to sell my engagement ring for approximately $100,000 and donate the proceeds to single mothers. If I was going to turn my pain into something, it was going to be something that helped others. This is why I do what I do. I've become a voice for Gen Z women who are learning to raise their standards, to choose themselves, and to never settle for less than they deserve. I guide people through movements like the "soft life" and "hyper-independence" because I've walked these paths myself. I'm not just an influencer sharing tips from behind a screen. I'm a sister, a guide, and someone who truly understands the struggle of becoming your best self.
Every word I speak comes from lived experience, and that's what I believe makes my message resonate with millions of people around the world.
