Discover Hope & What Matters
As a Greek Latina, Christina Vourcos is inspired by both her cultures and aims to represent her Latinx heritage, which isn't focused on in many mediums. This is one of the reasons she was inspired to publish as an indie author. Along with her part-time job in Education and volunteer job as website content manager for Jeremy Jordan’s website.
Growing up in Texas, especially South Texas, being bilingual in Spanish since childhood has been a superpower, and wants to be trilingual in Greek. She enjoys making nerd references in her writing. From fiction to non-fiction, books, serials, short stories, and poetry, she can do it all. Christina is currently working on her second poetry book which will be released in 2024. You can find more through her social media.
