    August 22, 2016

Hello! I’m Irina Gonzalez, a freelance writer, editor, and Latinx journalist based in Fort Myers, Florida.

I’m the News Editor at 21Ninety, a regular contributor at HipLatina, and a freelance writer focusing on food, healthy living, relationships, travel, and Latinx issues.

When I’m not working on my book about growing up Russian & Cuban, I’m probably reading an audiobook or cuddling with my (new) husband and our attention-loving kitties & pup.
