This year Im reading with purpose thanks to @readswithrachel.bsky.social bookclub…

Banned books are often amplify marginalized voices & question harmful systems.

In a time when books—especially those by marginalized authors—are being banned more than ever, reading them is an act of resistance.

It feels surreal to call myself an author and to be in this in-between—waiting for the book release. Part of me wants to release it now, but I know it needs time—to be marketed right, to build anticipation. My epic fantasy book launches Sept 23. While I’m excited, I’m also anxious.

This book unveils PR true past and challenges. A lot of current history comes from the perspective of the colonizer, shaping how we see ourselves, our struggles, and our future. It centers the voices of those who lived, resisted, & paid the price to exist. #puertorico

As a kid, I wanted to find characters who looked like me in the stories I loved—but they were hard to find. That’s why I wrote WHISPERS OF EMBERSTONES —to create the representation I wished I had. A world of fantasy, adventure, and magic, where characters like me could thrive. Representation matters

I’ve been reflecting on the power of stories. Rebecca Roanhorse’s Between Earth and Sky trilogy has been a great influence. It inspired me to be a better writer and to read more diversely. These show how fantasy is a powerful tool for embracing diversity. #mustread
