Autorenporträt
Darren Lopez was raised in the NYC suburbs. As a bi-ethnic (Puerto Rican/Colombian) child, he lacked representation in his community and education and was acutely aware of the prejudice he faced. As a college athlete, he studied anthropology and began to reclaim the native roots his parents had suppressed in their efforts to raise an assimilated child of immigrants. Learning oral histories from his elders gave him an avenue to finetune his storytelling craft and enabled him to share his stories and adventures to the elementary school students he currently teaches in Washington, D.C.
