Next Episode: The People's Doctor with Ray Altamirano - MD, Artist, Humanitarian & Founder Casa Salud Family Medicine Clinic, Ep #127

I met an incredible poet at the same event I heard Deyanira Martinez speak at and I knew I wanted to share her work with you on the podcast. I am so inspired by the Latinas who are creating art and inspiring each other here in the States and I think you will be too.

A dreamer at heart, Adriana Devers uses her writing to uplift, celebrate and recognize the value of our Afro-Caribbean culture, while bringing up topics that every family should be addressing with their children. Freelancer for online reading programs, her works give a message of hope and acceptance for children and adults alike.
