I have never openly discussed what my life and past outside of bookstagram or booktok has looked like, but for context I think sharing with you all just some of the things I’ve advocated for or the organizations that I've joined in my short 24 years of life will offer more perspective and insight on who I am as a person at my core.

• I went to my first protest when I was 9 years old to protest for the protection of women and families against domestic violence abusers

• At 16, I co-founded a club called “Building Bridges” at my catholic highschool that aimed to bridge the gap between the LGBTQ+ Community and the Catholic Church. We wanted to give the LGBTQ+ students at our school a safe space to be themselves

• In college, I was the President of the Organization of Latin American Students as a Freshman

• The following year, I became The President of the Multicultural Leadership Council that began implementing bi-annual meetings with our University President to discuss the concerns of the University's multicultural students

• My Junior year of college, I was blessed to join Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. For those of you who don’t know, it is an organization of college educated women committed to the constructive development of its members and to public service with a primary focus on the Black community

• On June 1st of 2020, I created the New York City Buddy System that created groups of 2+ people to protest during the onset of the Black Lives Matter Movement. I also posted medical aid locations, pro-bono attorney info for protestors, and offered support for those struggling with how to get involved with George Floyd Protests in NYC

I share all of this with you because I feel like it has been a privilege of mine to keep my two lives separate. However, all of these experiences have completely shaped the Angel you’ve all come to know and love. I am a Latina woman who was raised by a queer mother in a  low-income household for the majority of her life so I want the following to be abundantly clear:

The Library of Angels will always be a safe space for Queer (LGBTQ+), Minority (BIPOC, Latine/x, and AAPI to name a few), Cis and Trans Women, and Low-Income Families. I love you all and you will always find support and community in me.
