Edith Suàrez is the author and storyteller behind Two Homes, Dos Casas. She was born and raised in Long Beach, California, and grew up visiting her abuelitas in México with her parents. During her university studies in topics like race, ethnicity, and culture, she began connecting the dots on how her upbringing, school, and society deeply influenced her identity and what she knew or didn’t know about her cultural roots. These reflections, and her exposure to diverse communities, nurtured her passion for identity, culture, and education. In the past decade, this passion led her to live in places like Burkina Faso, West Africa; Boston, Massachusetts; and currently Atlanta, Georgia, where she continues to experience the power that stories provide in teaching us about ourselves and others.
