Diverse Representation

BIPOC Author

 

  • My background as the daughter of a Mexican-American mother lends a particular cultural awareness to diverse narratives in my writing and poetry.

  • My stories often challenge stereotypes and offer nuanced portrayals of characters. This helps dismantle harmful narratives that have persisted in mainstream literature.

  • This perspective helps to expand horizons for all readers from any background—it inspires broader thinking.
