She was gracious enough to share a bit of her story with me and talked briefly about her most recent publication, Living Beyond Borders, a collection of short stories and poetry about growing up along the U.S.-Mexico border.

This week, I'm introducing a new segment to the podcast that I'm calling, Office Hours with Dr. Jay.

He was recently featured on the podcast, but as we were concluding our interview we wanted to continue our conversation and talk more about his artwork. Here's the episode.
