In this episode, Anel Flores—a butch lesbian Chicana writer and artist whose roots span the Valley, San Antonio, and everything in between—reflects on her experiences as a queer individual who was raised in a Catholic family, the gift of parenthood, and the transformative moment when she took a writing workshop with Gloria Anzaldúa. She also discusses her creative work, including the book Empanada and her graphic memoir Pinta de Rojo, both of which delve into themes of identity, family, and social justice. ***New book: Curtains of Rain/ Cortinas de Lluva out JULY 2025!
