Jordan Aspiras (she/her) was raised in San José, California. She draws on the complexity of her identity to fuel her writing. Her first poetry book is titled, "Sunshine Woman," where she talks about growing up interracial, reclaiming self-love, and so much more. When she is home, she prefers to be by the Ocean. Aspiras is currently a Master of Divinity student in Illinois, and she has realized how much of a "West Coast woman" she truly is.
