Hija de inmigrantes salvadoreños que huyeron de la guerra y criada en un barrio del oeste de Sídney, la escritora Gerii Pleitez afila los sentidos y la pluma para plasmar en su libro “El domingo, ella creó a dios” de los temas que “la gente no quiere hablar” en Australia, como la existencia de las clases sociales o la violencia sistémica contra las mujeres, especialmente “de color”, según dijo a SBS Spanish.
Such a pleasure spending a rainy weekend afternoon chatting to Deborah from @browngirlpod. Not just because she is a masterful interviewer, but also due to the fact that I am such a fangirl of her brilliant podcast! She is creating such a beautiful space for women of colour to tell their story and expand the singular narrative.
Gerii sat down with the wonderful Beth AQ on her show The Glasshouse at Triple R to talk diversity in publishing, the lack of women of colour in Australian publishing, the current movement pushing the narratives of POC & WOC to the forefront and KS’s next project ‘Bleed Baby, Bleed’.
