hi, i’m darlene!
(she/her/ella)
I’m a queer Latinx poet from Los Angeles, now based in Mexico City. With a background in community organizing and civic engagement, I craft digital products for labor organizers and unions. I also love musicals, improv, and traveling.
the universe will give you flores
is my debut, bilingual, poetry collection that delves into themes of loss, heartbreak, and identity within a rich tapestry of familial, cultural, and sociopolitical landscapes.
