Ayling Zulema Dominguez is a poet, educator, and community artist who dreams and writes toward a borderless world with rematriated lands. Their writing asks us to defy colonialism and nurture collective care in its place; it asks us who we are at our most free, and explores the subversions needed in order to arrive there. What can language do for our resistance efforts? How can we use it to cultivate new worlds and weave our ancestors into the fabric of them? Their storytelling is rooted ancestrally in the lands of Puebla, México (Nahua) and the island of Kiskeya-Ayiti.
