Emilly Giselle Prado is a writer dedicated to exploring themes of healing and community within her work. Utilizing writing as a tool, she amplifies the stories of those historically marginalized, first through journalism and now through personal essays and a forthcoming memoir. With roots in the San Francisco Bay Area and Mexico, Prado has transitioned from journalism to focus exclusively on her creative voice. Her writing serves as a powerful means of processing experiences, sharing personal narratives, and fostering belief in the transformative power of one's own voice.
"FUNERAL FOR FLACA is an exploration of things lost and found--love, identity, family--and the traumas that transcend bodies, borders, cultures, and generations. Emilly Prado retraces her experience coming of age as a prep-turned-chola-turned-punk in this collection that is one-part memoir-in-essays, and one-part playlist, zigzagging across genres and decades, much like the rapidly changing and varied tastes of her youth." -- Amazon.com
