“Born in Alexandria, Virginia and raised by her mother in Queens, New York, Meg was the first natural American citizen in her family. She grew up in a Spanish-speaking household filled with aunts, uncles, and grandparents, all of whom were tireless storytellers. Meg was a lifelong reader, but it wasn’t until she was in her twenties, when she picked up House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, that she saw herself and her life experiences on the written page. Today, she writes the kinds of stories she would have wanted to have as kid.

Meg lives with her family in Richmond, Virginia. When she’s not writing or community organizing, you’ll find her playing with her dog, chowing down Milk Duds, or salsa dancing. Meg dances a mean, mean salsa.”—from https://theauthorvillage.com/presenters/meg-medina/
