Drought and Famine
Drought and Famine is a young adult uncompleted but soon published novel following Malia and Noah, high school students in a fictional Mexican town in which every student is a child of an important person from the government, such as a dignitaries or ambassadors, or high profile people in general.
It is a love story or wrong-place wrong-time regarding their romantic attraction, but most importantly it's a double narration of two teenagers struggling with mental illness stemming from rigid and challenging family backgrounds.
Drought and Famine's title is a reference to the main character's mental illness effects on them: Noah suffers from the need for acceptance from his peers and father which are like a sip of water in the drought that is his mind, and Malia's quite literal anorexia and constant state of famine.
Through the novel, Noah and Malia realize how similar they are to each other and fall in love with each other at different times. Will love be strong enough to "fix" each other? Or are their internal fissures too far gone for them to be each other's salvation?

Commentary Article
"The Femicide Mexican epidemic and the Ni Una Menos Movement:
Let’s not ignore the ugly side of our country just to protect its vacationing reputation."
Published by: John Cabot University's Newspaper: The Matthew
In my article, I explore the devastating epidemic of femicide and gender violence in Mexico, shedding light on a crisis often overshadowed by the country's rich culture. As a woman from Nuevo León, I'm deeply troubled by the systematic abuse and murder of women, a reality that has propelled the feminist movement, notably the Ni Una Menos campaign, into action.
I recount the harrowing stories of victims like 7-year-old Fátima and 25-year-old Ingrid Escamilla to illustrate the severity of the issue and the societal outrage it has sparked. Through my narrative, I call for urgent action and reform, urging society and the government to confront and eradicate this violence. My aim is to amplify the voices of the victims and the movements fighting for a Mexico where women can live free from fear and violence.
