I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose. —Spock 🖖🏽
In 2019 I was named one of 200 living individuals who best embody the work and spirit of Frederick Douglass by the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives and the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University.
I’m the recipient of the 2017 American Book Award for Lifetime Achievement presented by the Before Columbus Foundation.
I’ve been featured on National Public Radio’s The Talk of the Nation, and on the PBS NewsHour Special; America Remembers 9/11.
My books include: It Concerns the Madness, (2000), a poetry collection, Las Tres Hermanas (2017), a children’s coloring book, and I’m the editor of if the world were mine (2003), a young adult anthology.
I am also the editor of the first Nuyorican Women Writers Anthology published in Voices e/Magazine of the Center for Puerto Rican Studies, Hunter College- CUNY and am the guest editor of Phati’tude Literary Magazine’s issue; ¿What’s in a Nombre? Writing Latin@ Identity in America. I was an editor for the acclaimed underground literary and art publication, Long Shot for 11 years and served as the publication’s editor-in-chief for one of those years. I authored seven theater plays which have all been produced.
I’ve presented my work at various institutions and venues throughout the US and abroad, including the University of Nantes in France, the Society for the Study of the Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States (MELUS), the Association of Writers and Writing Programs Conference (AWP), The Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation Poetry Festival and Casa de las Americas in Havana, Cuba.
I was profiled in Latino Leaders Magazine as “One of the most celebrated members of the Puerto Rican literary movement in the Big Apple.” 🍎 💃🏽
My PhD is in English Literature and I’m currently an Associate Professor in New York City.
