AWP Conference - 3/7/20
It is an absolute honor to present at the Association for Writers and Writing Programs Conference on March 7, 2020 in San Antonio, TX.
I’m beyond ecstatic to be in conversation with these brilliant creators. My most profound gratitude to Tash and Isa of St. Sucia for organizing this panel.

About the Event:
S260. Latinx in Zines: Creating Space for Underrepresented Voices
Room 212, Henry B. González Convention Center, Meeting Room Level
Saturday, March 7, 2020
3:20 pm to 4:35 pm
Natasha Hernandez, chicana editor of St. Sucia, international feminist zine, will moderate Anakaren Ortiz Varela, queer Mexican editor of La Liga, a decolonial latinx zine, Rebecca Gonzales, WOC whose work explores East LA roots and life, Yeiry Guevara, writer and translator whose poetry explores Salvadoran American identity, and Breena Nuñez, a grad student and cartoonist whose work explores Afrolatinx nonbinary identity. We will explore panelists’ zine journeys and how they have used this space to challenge the larger literary world.
What an honor to be on a @awpwriter panel alongside Tash, @ok7a71, Rebecca. Beyond the ~prestige~ of presenting at #awp20, a national publishing conference, the real impact is how we have been able to amplify voices (otherwise unheard) thru our work, a true labor of love #awp2020 pic.twitter.com/lW1q3Ng3jS
