Malaya Santiago

My name is Malaya Santiago and I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. I am the oldest of 4 sisters and we now live in Federal Way with our mom and dad. I identify as a multiracial female and my preferred pronouns are she/her. I watch a lot of anime and I enjoy wasting my time with cartoons. I also love writing and reading poetry. It has always hit hard for me and can become a great outlet whenever I need it. I was introduced to MAS by my Spanish teacher and I’ve enjoyed spending time with other afro-latino youth as well as multiracial youth who may understand what I’m going through.
