Lola Rosario is a spoken word poet, freelance journalist, and translator from New York City. As a fiercely proud Boricua, her work centers on identity, colonization, and the patriarchy. Her first poetry collection, Daughter de Borikén is scheduled for publication by Editorial Pulpo in May 2024. Lola's journalism has been featured in NACLA, Hip Latina, Green Left (in Australia), Latino Rebels, and Palabra. A former travel blogger (trekked to 35 countries), it was a three-week trip to Tanzania in January 2021 that eventually brought her back to her ancestral motherland. Lola lives in the picturesque coastal town of Loíza, where she spends much of her time barefoot, crafting protest verses, and investigating pitches. Find her at Instagram @lolaslines.
