Xelena González!

Xelena González! Xelena practica las artes curativas a través de la escritura y el movimiento. Es narradora, bailarina y autora invitada que centra sus talleres multidisciplinares para todas las edades en el amor propio. Entre sus libros ilustrados se encuentran los galardonados ALL AROUND US (Cinco Puntos Press, 2017), WHERE WONDER GROWS (Lee & Low, 2022) y REMEMBERING (Simon & Schuster, 2023). Sus obras para adultos incluye poesía, ensayo, ficción y guión. LOTERÍA REMEDIOS es su colección de reflexiones, adivinaciones, medicina vegetal y animal, y otras herramientas para la autocuración basadas en el juego consagrado (Hay House, julio de 2024). Xelena, anteriormente una bibliotecaria y miembro inscrito de la nación coahuilteca Tap Pilam, se ha convertido en una conferencista muy solicitada sobre temas como el amor propio radical, las estrategias creativas de alfabetización temprana, cómo habitar la historia a través de la música y el movimiento, y cómo reclamar la identidad indígena en las comunidades latinas.

Xelena practices the healing arts through writing and movement. She is a storyteller, dancer, and visiting author who centers self-love in her multi-disciplinary workshops for all ages. Her picture books include the award-winning titles ALL AROUND US (Cinco Puntos Press, 2017), WHERE WONDER GROWS (Lee & Low, 2022), and REMEMBERING (Simon & Schuster, 2023). Her writing for adults includes poetry, essays, fiction, and screenwriting. LOTERIA REMEDIOS is her collection of reflections, divinations, plant and animal medicine, and other tools for self-healing based on the time-honored game (Hay House, July 2024). A former librarian and enrolled member of the Tap Pilam Coahuiltecan Nation, Xelena has become a sought-after speaker on topics such as radical self love, creative early literacy strategies, inhabiting story through music and movement, and reclaiming indigenous identity in Latinx communities.
