Originally from Jalisco, Mexico, Osmani is a queer poeta (he/él/they) and a national organizer for immigrant & worker rights.

Currently, my poetry collection titled, “Heartbreak and Spaceships in the Age of Extraterrestrials” was a finalist for the 2024 Howling Bird Press Poetry Prize – Announcement link: https://engage.augsburg.edu/howlingbird/
