Edith Suàrez is the author and storyteller behind Two Homes, Dos Casas. She was born and raised in Long Beach, California, and grew up visiting her abuelitas in México with her parents. During her university studies in topics like race, ethnicity, and culture, she began connecting the dots on how her upbringing, school, and society deeply influenced her identity and what she knew or didn’t know about her cultural roots. These reflections, and her exposure to diverse communities, nurtured her passion for identity, culture, and education. In the past decade, this passion led her to live in places like Burkina Faso, West Africa; Boston, Massachusetts; and currently Atlanta, Georgia, where she continues to experience the power that stories provide in teaching us about ourselves and others. 

Two Homes, Dos Casas is a reflection of Edith's love of using storytelling as a way to learn and deepen our connections with those around us, while also becoming proud of who we are and where we come from. Stories with intention have the power to change our lives for the better, and Edith is excited for the stories and moments of connection that this book will bring among children and families. 

Outside of writing and talking, Edith loves to spend time with her family, try different foods and restaurants, travel, and stay active.

Edith is also the host and creator of Cultura Convos. If you love stories and reflections of identidad y cultura, you will love this podcast.
