A.R. Diaz grew up amid prairie grass and Aztec temples. This upbringing gave her a wanderer spirit and an untamable imagination, which led to a love for traveling. However, she is currently trapped at the University of Ottawa, completing a B.A. in Anthropology. Her only escape is through writing and painting.  Her priority is to write about her experiences of being a second-generation immigrant, a person of colour, LGBTQ2+, and of Zapotec ancestry. You can find more of her pieces on her Instagram account: @a.r.diaz_
