You nurture, curate and create beautiful, complex and heart warming characters from your mind and then you release them to the world to be examined, while wondering,
Do they understand? Do you SEE them?

Please introduce yourselves ๐๐ฝ
Iโm building my reading list AND my following from scratch, and Iโd love to fill my feed with people talking about Latino literature, YA, romance, poetry, and indie books. ๐โจ
Dominican readers and writers: I want to read more of us. ๐ฉ๐ด
Drop a Dominican author, novel, poetry collection, memoir, or indie book you think more people should know about.
Bonus points if it made you immediately text someone: โTHIS IS SO DOMINICAN.โ ๐๐
