Writing from a perch in
Richmond, CA -- home to
Rosie the Riveter! |
I am a first generation Cuban-American, lover of all-thing Cuban AND all-things American! I follow politics, history and American culture, and am an amateur anthropologist. In my spare time I knit, crochet, love to cook and drink beer, listen to folk music from all around the world, visit exhibits of American folk culture and work hard to raise a happy, healthy bi-lingual and bi-cultural 8-year-old. While the S.F. Bay Area is home, I am fortunate to have lived in a number of great American cities. Buffalo, NY rocks, by the way!

I am a passionate
Unitarian-Universalist, believing in the saving grace of embracing theological difference and diversity. When I am not volunteering to help strengthen the
Unitarian Church in Transylvania, I can found at my daughter's wonderful Spanish immersion, International Baccalaureate school --
Escuela Bilingüe Internacional. I also work through the Brown University Alumni Association in outreach efforts to Latino High School students.
