Writing In Progress
Writing In Progress
My writing practice weaves together personal narrative and therapeutic wisdom, creating bridges between lived experience and healing potential. Drawing from my Colombian and Appalachian heritage, I craft memoirs that honor cultural intersections while exploring universal themes of identity, resilience and transformation.
Whether guiding others through bibliotherapy or developing my own creative work, I approach writing as both art and medicine—a gentle yet powerful tool for uncovering meaning in our stories and illuminating paths toward wholeness.
The Taste of a Mango
Between Colombia's vibrant culture and the rolling hills of Appalachian Ohio, I forged my identity through the wisdom of my grandmother, who became my bridge across continents. Her teachings guided me through the challenge of reconciling two contrasting worlds, helping me find belonging in cultural displacement. This memoir explores how family becomes our foundation as I navigated the complexity of dual heritage, transforming my grandmother's intergenerational wisdom into the compass that continues to shape my sense of self.
