Alicia is a Brooklyn-based writer and nature lover, often found wandering through Prospect Park, waiting for inspiration to strike – or perhaps fall to her feet. A firm believer that there is power in the wounds we carry, she hopes to transform pain into art, helping others reclaim their voice and strength, through creative and unapologetic non-fiction.
