97. Reclaiming Power Through Poetry: Deyci Carrillo Lopez on Identity, Immigration, and Art

Welcome to this episode! Today, I am honored to speak with Deyci Carrillo Lopez, a talented and influential Latina poet based in the Bay Area. Deyci, as she describes herself, is a proud representative of both Guanajuato, Mexico, and Deep East Oakland, California. She wears many hats as an author, entrepreneur, and advocate for immigrant rights. Deyci began her journey in poetry at the age of 13, a pivotal moment that followed her discovery of her immigration status. Through her writing, she has found a means to define her identity and aspirations in a world that often seeks to determine her worth and power. Through poetry, Deyci has reclaimed her strength and sense of self. Tune in to this episode to explore Deyci’s inspiring journey and the impactful work she is creating through her poetry.
