The Storm of La Niña (ePub)

Lluvia de Milagros was born in the Bay Area where she spent most of her time growing up, traveling to every nook, city, town, cafe, museum, and bookstore that Northern California could offer. At an early age, Lluvia could be found any given day journaling, reading Calvin and Hobbes, "collaging" her bedroom walls with music posters and CD covers, playing and sadly destroying her grandmothers' wardrobe (pre-thrifting era), dancing, singing, always taking her talent show group performances too seriously, listening to her grandmothers' old Mexican folk tales and ranch songs, cooking potions and new creations that were never edible, painting outside to paste real flowers and leaves to her canvasses, and making up her own games with family and friends. Growing up always creative and imaginative, she became acutely observant having spent so much time with her at the time, single working mother. Lluvia was a single child living in a mixed generational home of aunts, cousins, her mother and grandparents, where she learned to speak Spanish as her first language and early on became exposed to a community of strong, hard-working, independent and fierce womyn. After having experienced a kidnapping and rape in her early years in High School, Lluvia returned from a Treatment program in Utah to graduate on time at Notre Dame High School in downtown San Jose. Once completing High School, she went off to change numerous majors - Psychology, Sociology, Environmental Studies, Teachers for Tomorrow Program - to finally arrive to Women's and Gender Studies. During her time at Saint Mary's College of California, she completed her minor studies, one summer in Cuernavaca, Mexico then returned to continue teaching throughout the Bay Area in different service programs. Over four years, Lluvia performed numerous shows with her spoken word pieces, was asked to publish on different media forums and has been interviewed by different radio stations on her creative pieces and poetry work.
