The Journal of Lesbian Studies Spring 2023

The Journal of Lesbian Studies Spring 2023 focuses on special issue about the iconic anthology: Chicana Lesbians - The Girls Our Mothers Warned Us About, by Carla Trujillo, Third Woman Press 1991. I'm one of the original contributors to this groundbreaking anthology that published my unique comedic Chicana lesbian version of La Llorona, the Mexican ghost woman. For this special issue of The Journal of Lesbian Studies, I wrote a testimonial: La Llorona Loca through My Chicana Lesbian Lens, about the origin story of my Llorona tale. This distinctive issue of the Journal is edited by Stacy I. Macias, PhD, & Liliana C. Gonzalez, PhD.

Making Guacamole with My Ancestors
Coming soon!

Making Guacamole with My Ancestors--what a great title! Working on new solo show for 2025. My avocado tree better be ready and loaded with beautiful ripe avocados. Buying avocados at the market can be a crap shoot. You buy what you believe are ripe avocados, you get home, slice the avocados open and you discover they're rotten! Gawd, I hate that! On a positive note, when you get a delicious ripe avocado--it's heaven!
