Naima - saludos! I am an editor at Latino Book Review and enjoying Halsey Street! I am planning on doing a review, and just curious if/how you identify as an author - Latinx? Dominican? Dominican-American? PoC? I really don't want to slap labels/make any assumptions, but saw you spent summers in DR and there are some great, vivid depictions in the novel. Abrazos,ET

Hi, Elliott! Thank you for reading and reviewing Halsey Street. I look forward to reading what you write. Thank you for checking in about how I identify. It's thoughtful, and I have been mislabeled before! I identify as Dominican and also Latinx, and I do identify as a person of color. I also identify as a black woman. Lots of identifications! I hope this helps!
