Her nonfiction has appeared in anthologies and her fiction can be found in Reunion: The Dallas Review; Red Light Lit; Writing Without Walls, and others. She is currently at work on a novel. Yosimar Reyes Yosimar Reyes first felt the indelible power of words when people used them against him. Reflecting on their force as an expression of spirit, he realized that he could use words instead as agents of healing. The 26-year-old Guerrero, Mexico-born, East Side San Jose-raised queer poet-activist has since built a life around language, both spoken and penned. In 2009, his first self-published chapbook For Colored Boys Who Speak Softly gained a national audience. Reyes' spoken word calls attention the plight of queer immigrant youth and has been featured in documentaries, including 2nd Verse: The Rebirth of Poetry and The Legalities of Being. His written work has been anthologized, while he lends his spoken word to galvanize conversations about politics, culture and the struggles of gay, working class and immigrant people. Hawa Jaan Hawa is the co-founder of Browntourage. Browntourage is a media agency that works globally with creatives, professionals and collaborators to promote our vision for diversity in aesthetics and lifestyle dedicated to balancing entertainment, media, and activism.
