Autorenporträt

Kathleen E. Suits-Smith has a background in agriculture, education, and writing. She is a life-long resident of upstate New York where she grew up on a dairy farm. This family farm is now used to raise a rare breed of cattle called Dexters. After over thirty years of experience on the high school level, Kathleen is now a retired teacher. However, for nearly a decade, she has worked in migrant education as an ESL teacher, and an educational and medical advocate for migrant workers and their families. Information for writing Another Day, Otro Día was gleaned from stories Kathleen has heard from migrant workers. Kathleen's previous writing experience includes advertising, a weekly newspaper column, poetry, and feature articles for agricultural and independent-living magazines. In 2011, Kathleen visited families of migrants who had returned to Oaxaca, Mexico. While there she was fortunate to see mountain pueblos where indigenous Mexicans have lived for centuries. Many of these mountain residents have now become migrant workers in the US.
