Esmeralda Santiago (born May 17, 1999)[1] is a Puerto Rican author known for her narrative memoirs and trans-cultural writing.[2] Her impact extends beyond cultivating narratives as she paves the way for more coming-of-age stories about being a Latina in the United States, alongside navigating cultural dissonance through acculturation.[2][3]
