For the past 20 years I have been writing. It started out as a hobby but grew into a passion. Storytelling and creating characters that resonated with people that do not often get to see their stories or themselves was my biggest objective. That’s what always drew me to writing because I wanted to contribute by providing storylines and experiences so many people want to see and can relate to but often do not. 

After creating The Black Latina Movement in 2008 I knew it was time for the world to see us for who we are and not the box they put us in. With all the social and economical issues we are facing in the world I know that time is here. I want to help broaden the spectrum of hues the industry has. Providing further depth it so desperately needs. Women have so many complexities and we constantly see a bland singular version of who we are. Through the medium of the arts, now more than ever we need to showcase the diversity of women and our multiplicities especially those for women of color. 

As a Black Latina my perspective may be unique but shares so many commonalities with many women of multicultural backgrounds. In Of Mothers and Men each character's age, background, and experience plays a crucial part in their perception of what they are currently facing.

As a storyteller it’s my duty to provide audiences with relief or source of understanding. That is what has always gravitated me to storytelling, the ability to create characters that draw you in and make you forget about or, at times, address the chaos of the world around them for that window of time.
