Author Biography

Alejandra Jimenez, aka Aleja, is a self-identifying queer chicanx poeta. Aleja is the first of five children born to her Mexican immigrant parents, from Zacatecas and Jalisco, Mexico. She grew up in Santa Ana, California, and later in the Inland Empire, epicenters of Latinx communities. Aleja frequently visited her parents' native country of Mexico, which highly influenced her desire to become the representation of her people, her culture, as well as herself, which she did not see growing up.
