Adilene Hernández

Adi (she/her/hers) is a queer Latina writer based out of Atlanta, GA. She is currently studying for her MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) and aspires to study for a PhD in Chicanx Studies or Creative Writing. Currently, she works with marginalized youth in a youth & family center in the westside of Atlanta, and she enjoys decolonizing both her own and her students’ bookshelves.

Outside of work and academia, she can be found traveling both in and out of the country on a regular basis, as she has never been able to stay in one area for very long. She specializes in poetry and fiction and is currently at work on her first novel and poetry collection.
