GUME LAUREL III

Gume is a Texan, native to the Rio Grande Valley on the southernmost border. For the past decade, he has dedicated himself to writing stories that promote inclusion, and provoke further introspection into the complexities of culture and intersectional identities. The bulk of Gume’s characters are composed of underrepresented  groups, especially those representative of the communities he is a part of: Latinx and LGBT+. His published work includes both young adult fiction and poetry.
