Diana Pando is a Mexican-American writer, poet, and storyteller with roots in Chicago, Chihuahua, MX, and Mexico City. Her work explores themes of identity, culture, and mythology, often drawing on her Mexican heritage. Recently, her poems "Hijas de Coyolxaqui," "Poema de Fuego," and "Antonio, Nombre de Santo Puesto de Cabeza" were published in the Somos Xicanas Anthology, edited by Luz Schweig. Her poem "Mythology of Flesh and Turquoise Serpents" was featured in the Mujeres de Maiz Anthology, published by the University of Arizona Press. Her poems are a blend of myth, memory, and resistance—where every line is a reclaiming, every verse a ceremony.
