YERRRR!

Welcome back to another episode of Oye Mi Gente! Podcast. This week's episode is Part 2 of our Interview with the amazing writer, author, butch Tia extraordinaire Gabby Rivera!

Join us as we continue on this heart to heart talk about joy and the revolution of finding joy amidst all the BS that surrounds and what we carry on our shoulders.

Gabby Rivera is a Bronx-born, queer Puerto Rican author on a mission to create the wildest, most fun stories ever. She’s the first Latina to write for Marvel Comics, penning the solo series America about America Chavez, a portal-punching queer Latina powerhouse. Rivera’s critically acclaimed debut novel Juliet Takes a Breath was called “f*cking outstanding” by Roxane Gay and was re-published in September 2019 by Penguin Random House. Currently, Gabby is the writer and creator of b.b. free, a new original comic series with BOOM! Studios. When not writing, Gabby speaks on her experiences as a queer Puerto Rican from the Bronx, an LGBTQ youth advocate, and the importance of prioritizing joy in QTPOC communities at events across the country. Gabby makes magic on both coasts, currently residing in California. She writes for all the sweet baby queers, and her mom.

Recently, Gabby launched a new podcast, called Joy Revolution!

Joy Revolution is the podcast that asks how do you prioritize joy?

Joy Revolution brings Gabby Rivera and her favorite revolutionary humans together to honor joy in a chaotic world.

As a writer and speaker who focuses on queer Latinx joy, Gabby knows how vital it is to share our experiences and best practices in order to build that healing, abundant joy. And who better to be in conversation with than people whose very existences push against the chaos and uplift their communities. In this new podcast, Gabby asks how folks are rooting joy in their work, personal and spiritual lives. The goal? To share all that good bouncy healing revolutionary joy with all the humans who need it most. i.e. every single one of us
