Here you’ll find articles that I’ve written for a couple small publications as well as published pieces in my medium and substack page.

I want to share the following about my relationship to writing:

Neither of my parents completed middle school. We migrated to the U.S. when I was almost six so I picked up the language–English–during primal language development years. English is my second language, maybe even my third if I count the Zapoteco (Dizza), which was spoken around me at home and with relatives. My parents were working-class people; they didn’t read to or with me. I kept a journal when I was younger, but in highly communal cultures privacy is almost non-existent. My journal was invaded and that also stunted my curiosity to explore more of my writing. Being able to share my writing is vulnerable and powerful. Thank you for engaging with these pieces.
