I'm the author of My Daughter’s Eyes and Other Stories (2007), winner of the Curbstone Press Marmol Prize for First Latina Fiction. My most recent fiction is anthologized in Viajeros del Rocio: 25 Narradores Dominicanos de la Diaspora and Riverine: An Anthology of Hudson Valley Writers. I love language, art, literature, digital story and anything related to the healing process. Love to read - all kinds of stuff. No preference really. If it is authentic and true and coming from a deep source, if it breaks barriers, creates something new, if it brings insight, then, I like that. Words have power. Writing is healing and the visual arts, for me, supports the process.
