Hola – I’m Meda! 

I write about my experience as:

  • A Latina in tech
  • Child of immigrants
  • Reader of primarily BIPOC books
  • Occasionally often about grief

Light stuff, I know! I’ve been writing for myself since I can remember, but on the advice of friends who get paragraph-long texts with my latest musings, I’ve been told I’m an essayist and need to share my writing 💛📚
