Today I’m interviewing Racquel Marie, debut author of the young adult novel Ophelia After All.
Racquel Marie grew up in Southern California where her passion for storytelling of all kinds was encouraged by her friends and big family. She received a BA in English with an emphasis in creative writing and a minor in gender and sexuality studies from the University of California, Irvine. Racquel primarily writes YA contemporaries starring queer Latine characters like herself. When not writing or reading, she loves practicing beauty and special effects makeup, watching and producing YouTube videos, and teaching herself to play ukulele in spite of her extremely long nails.
Today we’re talking about the importance of setting physical and emotional boundaries, how borrowing joy from our own communities can help us reconnect with our work, and why books are the ultimate group project. If you’re struggling to find your voice in your personal or professional life, this episode is for you.
So make a space that’s just for you and enjoy my conversation with Racquel Marie.
