Liza Tuyuc
Columnist
Liza Tuyuc (she/her) is a First-Generation Kaqchikel teen from NYC. Inspired by the women and femme’s in her life, combined with her love of writing, Liza is determined to record the stories of such admirable figures. In her own life, she grew up unaware of her Indigenous roots and strives to reclaim her Kaqchikel heritage. In a current world full of injustice and oppression, it is necessary to not just advocate and fight, but to inspire and honor the communities we support. She thus works with TIF as a writer in the hopes of writing pieces that both advocate and celebrate.
Liza currently plans to turn passions into careers, studying English, Media Studies and Business in NYC. In her personal time, life becomes a DIY project through various hobbies of crafts, sewing, baking and jewelry making.
