Beatriz Llenín Figueroa is a compañera and dreamer, a writer and theater apprentice. Alongside her beloved Lissette, they are devotees of Andre, the dog, and Clara, the cat. She teaches at UPR-Mayagüez as adjunct faculty. Her creative and political life revolves around Caribbean literatures and philosophies, island and archipelagic studies, gender and queer theory, decoloniality, theater and performance. Some of her work within PR's crisis was collected in Puerto Islas: crónicas, crisis, amor (2018). She is Editora Educación Emergente’s associate editor and a freelance editor and translator. With her Vueltabajo friends –and with every theater person who makes her an accomplice– she confabulates.
