Rachel Duff is an educator and writer. Her writing explores topics of feminism, family and Latinidad. She draws inspiration from the strong women who came before her, as close as her own mother and as distant as the Taína ancestors she carries in her spirit. She is also a middle school ESOL teacher and her students give her purpose everyday. Her writing can be found in Zines around the country such as St. Sucia, Yes Ma’am Zine, Indigizine, Joteria, Mujeres De Maiz, Chiflada Zine and online platforms like The Mujerista. Writing, to her, is a form of activism and a method of healing.

We are so happy she’ll read with us at the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival on Saturday, October 13th.
