José Zepeda is a spicy food loving human. He is Boston-based and reigns from the fiery Sonoran desert. A wannabe neuroscientist by day and a wannabe poet by night, José constantly challenges himself to be the very best Pokémon trainer. He is very annoying. This may or may not have been written by his sister. José’s poetry centers around the contemporary problems faced by the chicanx community. Prominent themes are those of identity, racism, colorism, and belonging.
