Florencia Ramirez

Florencia Ramirez writes from Oxnard, California, an agricultural town on the Pacific coast that smells of celery, strawberries and fertilizers.  Its abundant farms drew her family to California from Mexico three generations ago as migrant farm workers. She now lives there between the ocean and the fields with her husband and three young children.$5,000 Gift of Freedom Genre Finalist, Creative Nonfiction; Mind Stretch Contributor.
