Jaimé Korima Rodríguez is a storyteller and poet, channeling ancestral knowledge as a descendant of Cali, Colombian, and Rarámuri peoples. Their work is a transformative blend of lived experience and cultural reclamation, weaving narratives of housing instability, brujería, mental health, Spanglish, radical sexual liberation and self-reimagination as a cuir and trans, fat Latine person. Rooted in both research and raw truth, Jaimé’s poetry and short stories transport readers into moments of resistance, memory, and radical joy—challenging traditions of silence, white supremacy, and erasure with every verse.

Jaimé is currently pursuing a Master’s in Latin American Studies and holds a Bachelor's in Sociology with a Latino Studies Minor from San Francisco State University. Their writing has been featured in The HuffPost, Rooted in Rights, Rest for Resistance, La Bloga, 580 Split, Sin Cesar, and TransFaith, with special features in The HuffPost Latino Voices, Poets of Color Podcast, ELLE Magazine, and as Transfaith’s 2017 Fellow. Their latest chapbook, Mala Hierba Nunca Muere (Bottlecap Press, 2023), embodies the rhythm of jotería and the defiance of LatinE cuir identity.

Beyond writing, Jaimé is a dedicated grant writer, editor, and public speaker, using their skills to uplift marginalized voices and fund community-driven work.
