I'm still taking it all in! ❤️🔥 Last night, I was stunned and deeply honored to receive the 2026 Gina Davidson Memorial Ensemble Grant from Breath of Fire Latina Theater Ensemble in support of my artistic work. 😭🤯 My heartfelt thanks to @boflte and its Board of Directors for this incredible honor, for this anthology, and for a night that will remain a treasured memory for life. What a beautiful and unforgettable evening celebrating the release of ¡FUEGO!, an anthology featuring the fierce voices of so many talented writers, poets, and playwrights. I am incredibly proud to have three of my poems opening this collection. Last night, I had the joy of sharing my work alongside artists whose words, stories, and performances left me inspired and moved. Here is a little taste of that magic! A very special shout-out and much love to Adriana Alba, who encouraged (okay, pushed! 😂❤️) me to submit my work. This anthology was her vision, her idea, and her baby. She took on the monumental task of gathering ten years of artistic work from Breath of Fire Latina Theater Ensemble and bringing it together into this beautiful collection. What a gift to our artistic community and what a legacy to preserve! Thank you, Adriana, for believing in this project and making it a reality. ❤️🔥 To be recognized by an artistic community that I love, believe in, and have been part of for so many years makes this honor even more meaningful. Ten years of Breath of Fire artistry. One fierce anthology. ¡FUEGO! 🔥 Pick up your copy of ¡FUEGO! and support this magnificent, fierce nonprofit that continues to uplift and amplify our stories and voices. ¡Que viva Breath of Fire! ❤️🔥 #BreathOfFireLatinaTheaterEnsemble #FUEGO #ChicanaWriters #LatinaTheater #bookrelease

🔥 POETA. 🔥 Three of my poems. One FIERY anthology. And a whole lot of corazón. ❤️ I'm thrilled to share that three of my poems are featured in FUEGO, an anthology celebrating the powerful voices and artistry of the Breath of Fire Latina Theater Ensemble. As a Chicana writer, I've always believed that our stories deserve to be told, heard, remembered, and passed on. These poems carry pieces of me—love, loss, memory, desire, and all the beautiful messiness of being human. And what makes this especially meaningful? The anthology opens with my three poems! 🥹🔥 My relationship with Breath of Fire has taken many forms over the years—teaching artist, Board President, collaborator, and now contributing poet. It's an honor to be part of an organization that continues to nurture and amplify our voices. I'm grateful to share these pages alongside incredible writers and artists who continue to keep our stories burning bright. Stay tuned for details about the book release celebration, where I'll be reading one or two of my poems! Gracias to Breath of Fire for continuing to create space for our stories. Shout out to Adriana Alba who edited this collectoon with Sara and Diana, and pushed me to submit. TQM, amiga. We are the stories. We are the fire. 🔥 Join us this Friday and pick up your own copy! #FUEGO #BreathOfFire #ChicanaPoet #Poeta #ElviaSusanaRubalcava
