📚 With immense enthusiasm, I am thrilled to announce the release of my new book, "Profiles of Rebel Heroines: A Celebration of Poetry and Essay," published by Mario Michele Pascale! 🌟
In this book, I have explored the extraordinary lives of women who have shaped Latin American history with their courage and determination. From Juana Azurduy to Berta Cáceres, I have intertwined essay and poetry to paint a vivid portrait of their struggles and triumphs.
A Fusion of Essay and Poetry
I aimed to transcend the boundaries between essay and poetry, giving voice to forgotten heroines through impeccable prose and vibrant verses. My goal was to transform social critique into poetry, capturing the essence of the heroines to whom I dedicated this work.
Foreword by Patrizia Poi
Patrizia Poi graciously introduced my work, highlighting my steadfast commitment to Latin American affairs and the feminine gender. My book is not only a celebration of rebel heroines but also an act of resistance and reflection on social justice.
Foreword by Marcella Formenti
Marcella Formenti added depth to my work, describing the heroines' lives as "petals of a flower," delicate memories to be explored with care. She emphasized how each poem in this book invites reflection on the strength of women in fighting for their rights and survival.
An Authoritative Voice Accompanied by Forewords
The forewords by Patrizia Poi and Marcella Formenti lend authority and depth to the book in the context of feminist writings and liberation movements. Both highlighted the importance of celebrating the stories of Latin American revolutionaries through a poetic and evocative lens.
Verses That Tell Lives
I have written verses that ooze emotion and historical depth, paying homage to the language and culture of the protagonists of my book. These poems are a tribute to courageous women who fought for freedom, justice, and equality.
A Work That Transcends Time
"Profiles of Rebel Heroines" is not just a collection of biographies but a work that celebrates the power of female resistance and resilience. I invite readers to explore worlds of courage and determination, celebrating the legacy of heroines who fought for a better world.
In conclusion, my book represents a significant contribution to feminist literature and the history of the Americas, offering a new perspective on struggles for independence and equality through the lens of forgotten heroines. I will continue to explore and celebrate the lives of these extraordinary women, offering a book that not only informs but also inspires and moves.
Thank you for your support and enthusiasm! I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
Best regards,

Broken and Reconstructed Voices: Decolonial Feminism and the Rewriting of History through Black and Latin American Women
Intellectuals such as Angela Davis, Lélia Gonzalez, and MarÃa Lugones have shed light on how patriarchy and colonialism have intertwined to form structures of domination. Through their works and the commitment of Afro-Latin American activists, an invitation emerges to radically rethink history, intertwining voices and perspectives that expand and transform conventional narratives. This rewriting of history is not merely about representation; it becomes an act of social justice aimed at dismantling oppressive hierarchies and making visible the experiences and contributions of these women.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when you’re on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, it’s our families that hold us together like glue.
