As a gay Cuban-American and dad in a multiethnic family, intersectionality is my jam. I write books and plays for all but that especially uplift queer and BIPOC lives, with an eye toward hope and humor.

 

I am the author of seven books and two dozen plays, which have been staged coast to coast. As an essayist, I've written for the New York Times, Boston Globe, Huffington Post, Medium, Howlround,  and more. I teach writing at Boston Conservatory, Brown, and Tufts.
