Sofia Quintero, the Bronx-born writer, activist, educator, comedienne and self-proclaimed "Ivy-League homegirl" of Puerto Rican-Dominican descent shares how she has married her activism with storytelling in the critically acclaimed Black Artemis novels and in other socially conscious entertainment in many media.
