About AnaYelsi Velasco-Sanchez

Follow Me

AnaYelsi Velasco-Sanchez is an IndoLatinx mujerista working to create and agitate her way through the latin diaspora. She is a faith organizer, consultant, public speaker, er, writer, and visual artist. She loves disappearing for hours in an art museum, feeding people a homemade flan of which she is unabashedly proud, reading everything she can get her hands on, and watching an absurd number of problematic made-for-tv holiday romcoms. AnaYelsi lives in Washington, D.C. You can follow her on twitter at @brwneyedamzn and on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/browneyedamazon Pronouns: she/her/hers
