My name is Alana Gerry. I am a 19 year old Afro latina from Boston Massachusetts. I currently go to school at Parsons School of Design in New York City. I have always enjoyed writing/storytelling and I am able to do that through visual art and through poetry. I have won multiple awards for my artwork such as multiple scholastic Gold keys. My goal with my writing is to help explain who I am and what the world around me is. I hope that by sharing my perspective on the world I can help others understand who I am.
