My name is Zulynette and you may call me Zulynette.
Bio: Zulynette (she/her) is a queer, Puerto Rican performer, artist, and accomplished author. Born in Chicago and raised in Hartford, CT, Zulynette’s work is rooted in a deep care and love of her community. After growing up in hard spaces, her work is an invitation to be bold, expansive, and curious about oneself.
As a skilled facilitator with her Masters in Social Work and a Certification in breath work, she incorporates both into her workshops and performances. This results in experiences that activate the senses and creates the brave space for individual and communal healing.
She is the Creator and Director of the annual storytelling event, A Little Bit of Death, and the author of two books of poetry, Seeing in the Dark (2022) and Building a Powerhouse (2017). Her work has been featured in They Call Us, the Hartford Courant, Review: Literature and Arts of the Americas, and elsewhere; she has also been featured on-air with Connecticut Public Radio and NBC Connecticut.
You can find Zulynette musing on the thread that ties everything in the Universe together on her podcast, Lighting a Candle.
