Sabrina San Miguel

My writing is multifaceted, weaving in and out of different genres all documenting my own lived experience in different ways. My approach is that of power, poignancy, and yet still accessible to those who are not scholars and avid book readers but who can appreciate relating to someone who has been in the trenches before and at times still is. My writing explores the complexities of womanhood, sisterhood as medicine, navigating what it means to mother, to mentor, to do things you had no model for-- touching on themes like love, forgiveness, rage, growth, and resilience. I want my audience to feel inspired to tell their own stories, to dig deep within themselves and uncover their own source of magic. I want to be seen as a homegirl, an auntie, a leader, a sister. Someone that isn't afraid to be seen trying and writing and telling my stories, sometimes of love and how it nearly killed me but didn't. My work reminds the reader that I do not have all the answers but I will continue to uncover my own truths and learn from them and forgive and set boundaries and change my mind if I would like to. I am a storyteller, a poet, a future ancestor. I write because I know that I have inherited intergenerational traumas but I have also inherited intergenerational joy and love.
