Artistic Statement
I am committed to telling femme-forward stories and promoting the equality of historically marginalized groups, specifically Latinas. By our “equality”, I mean our ability to tell any story/play any character we want.
I am uninterested in playing into Latine stereotypes in order to appease higher-ups searching for "diverse stories". Please don’t hit me up for that or expect that from me, you won’t get it. To be clear: any story I tell is a Latine story, because I am Latine. I cannot tell stories through any other lens. Make sense?
I once read that writers tend to ask the same questions over and over in their work, and that all of their characters attempt to answer those questions in their own specific ways. My work generally asks questions about motherhood, existentialism, death, and how women process their grief and anger. My characters answer those questions in the strangest ways possible.
My writing genre is generally horror/thriller, but I dabble in drama and comedy as well - I like a good blend. Life is absurd, horrifying, wonderful; I try to show all of those things.
