This is where I tell you more about my journey and how this New York City girl moved to her parents’ Caribbean island to find her roots and create art that makes her feel alive. The truth is I'm a slam poetry competitor turned commercial poet, turned full-time writer, educator, and performer!

I fell in love with poetry at the age of seven, and my dreams have slowly but surely become my real life. Do you believe in magic? Well, I hope you do because I am proof that we all can weave together the best parts of our goals and passions into a fulfilling and soul-enriching life filled with sprinkles of fun, sazon, and the work/life balance we long to have.

Did I mention I wrote a book?

PLANTAINS AND OUR BECOMING is a rousing, beautifully observed, and tender-hearted debut poetry collection about identity, culture, home, and belonging.
