"The poetry collection, Pieces of Me, takes its readers on a journey of courage and self-discovery. It explores the challenges of feeling whole when born half Mexican and growing up with one parent. With vivid poems about first kisses, love, and hope and loss, we are encouraged to find beauty in life—even during the darkest moments, even in the face of adversity."

Reading Pieces of Me, snippets of memories, of loves, of hopes, of losses, and of dreams, we see a thread of kindness that strings them together like beads. There is healing in these poems such as all art must have, and reading them, a feeling of privilege like being made privy to a sensitive diary.
