Elevating La Cultura Podcast

Alyssa Reynoso-Morris: Sharing Latine stories through writing, so her readers can feel seen, understood, and loved.

Karina Season 7 Episode 74

Hola! My next guest has filled me with so much joy through her personality, genuine conversation, and love of sharing her culture.  

Alyssa Reynoso-Morris is a queer Afro-Latine Dominican and Puerto Rican storyteller. Her ability to weave compelling stories has opened many doors for her as an author, speaker, and resume writer. She is also a mother and community organizer. During the day she works with community members, non-profit organizations, and government officials to make the world a better place. Then she puts her writer’s hat on to craft heartfelt stories about home, family, food, and the fun places she has been. Alyssa was born and raised in The Bronx, New York, and currently lives in Philadelphia, PA with her partner and daughter. She is the author of Plátanos Are Love, The Bronx Is My Home, and Gloriana Presente: A First Day of School Book. She hopes you enjoy her stories.
