Lateira Flores

Meaningful Poetry

, started writing short stories and created her own illustrations at the age of five. Throughout her childhood she would partake in extra curricular writing classes and even create poetry on her own for the fun of it.

Last year, she stumbled upon Medium and began to share her poetry and personal pieces for others to read and connect to.

She decided this year she wanted to do more and work with more talented writers.
