Gabby Rivera is a writer, podcast host, and storyteller. Her young adult novel Juliet Takes a Breath was critically acclaimed and she is the first Latina to write for Marvel comics, bringing superhero America Chavez to life. Gabby’s work often combines experiences  from her own past, the political realities of present-day America and the future she envisions for her queer kin. The stories she writes work to correct the lack of narratives like her own – growing up queer within a religious, Puerto Rican family in the Bronx. Isa Nakazawa discusses how Gabby’s Aquarius moon eventually led her to embrace a radical softness and vulnerability that now defines her personal life and writing.
