Jaimé Korima Rodriguez is an LA native, QTBIPOC Punk, disabled, nonbinary Jota, descendent of Cali, Colombian and Raramuri peoples of Chihuahua, Mexico.

Their poetry and short stories are transformative snippets in time, ones that venerate their lived struggles growing up in southern California, at the intersections of housing instability and homelessness, Brujeria, mental health, Spanglish, Colombian and Mexican cultural rejections and self re-imagining as a cuir and trans person. 

Jaimés poetry and short stories combine their lived experience with research while romanticizing memory bursts, that transport readers into the author’s world. Jaimés writing is a means to cope with normalized tragedy, unguided curiosity and as a form of indignant, LatinE, cuir rebellion, against traditions of silence, white supremacy, colonial religion and erasure. Jaimé’s poetry and short stories are rhythmic offerings to honor, fat-belly, jiggly laughter, that fan the flames of intersectional jotería, while lifting an eyebrow at the cuirness of LatinE, Catholic iconography as an embodiment of sazón.
