A Colombian woman passionate about literature, coffee, and music. In my teenage years, I not only discovered my love for writing—thanks to a special program created by my Spanish teacher—but also my pen name, inspired by a book that told the story of children playfully rearranging the alphabet. Since then, I have adopted “Rixivesh” as my writer’s pseudonym, under which I have signed poems, stories, and memories that fill my literary chest.

A decade later, I had to embark on a great adventure: I packed that chest and moved to the United States with my husband and daughter. Adapting to a new culture was a challenge I embraced with courage, convinced that I could conquer the world with the tools I had—my desire to grow professionally and my dream of becoming a successful woman.
