Stay for a spell

Life is better when you have a warm beverage in your hand. Coffee, tea, mulled wine, take your pick! There is something about the comfort of a warm cup that makes it easier to feel at home in the world (though I cannot stress enough the value of iced drinks in Florida).

So, grab a mug and let’s get to business. My name is Laura Liz Rodríguez-Davis, and I am deeply passionate about giving words to things that often go unnamed, especially on matters of racial justice, faith, and healing. I’m honored to share this space with you. I’m a proud Boricua with fair-skin and Southern roots living life from a unique and often tumultuous vantage point. I live in Tampa, FL with my new husband, Sean, and my beloved doggo, Hector. I love reading, dancing, baking, and writing (obvi), and you can often find me trying new restaurants and plotting how to secretly join the ensemble of touring Broadway companies. I’m on a journey towards healing from trauma and old wounds while learning to practice anti-racism in every area of my life. I don’t offer many answers. I believe advice has limitations. But I do offer stories, laughter, challenges, and insights from my own life. I pray they bless yours. And I give you my company for your own journey. You’re not alone, mjia.

Amor y café,

Laura
