I won the 2025 Narrative Prize for my story “Honey Buns and Cream Soda in the Stairwell”! 🥹 I am overwhelmed!

WIP urban, LGBTQ coming-of-age short literary fiction story from a series of stories that I plan to continue publishing in various lit mags. #Wipsnips #comingofage Snippet immediately following a beating by a group of homophobic boys:

A snippet from my short story WIP "Mixed Berry Pie", told from the POV of destitute trans teenage foundling Jasmine Milan in Harlem in the spring of 1992. 🤞🏽 here's to hoping I can finally crack the top 5 lit mag barrier with this one! #WIPSnips

Thanks to Foglifter Journal for giving this story a comfortable home. Our art must be held sacred now now than ever, informed by our lives and (so) many little deaths. Spend time with trans teenage castaway Alma Castillo as she navigates life in the springtime of her youth in NYCs underground queer

Many thanks to @narrativemag for making this piece Story of the Week. To read “Honey Buns and Cream Soda in the Stairwell” is to know me intimately as an artist. Being in a top ten lit mag like this is a dream come true! Spend a day with trans teenage castaway Alma Castillo
