Elizabeth Santiago grew up in Boston, Massachusetts, with parents who migrated from San Sebastián, Puerto Rico, in the 1960s. The youngest of nine, she was entranced by the stories told to her by her mother, father, aunts, uncles, and community elders. Later, she sought to capture and honor those narratives and share them with the world. She earned a BFA degree in creative writing from Emerson College, a master's in education from Harvard University, and a PhD in education studies from Lesley University. Find her @liznarratives.
