Remembering Hurricane María & Its Aftermath: Two Readings

---

"Literatura, Música, y (Huracán) Maria: Reflections from the Diaspora"

​Join me for two FB Live Readings this month (9/12 & 9/19).

I'm hosting both readings to keep Puerto Rico front of mind as we approach 9/20, the one year anniversary of Hurricane María making landfall on the island.

If you join live or watch the replay of either reading, I hope you will also support my fundraising campaign on behalf of Puerto Rico's Taller Salud:
