Lore

Hillary Gonzalez is an autistic adult with ADHD, currently residing in Baltimore, Maryland. Hillary is bisexual and identifies as gender-fluid, using she/they pronouns.

Hillary has been a writer her entire life. Hillary began storytelling at a young age, as a means to escape the abuse they experienced as a child. Through poetry, Hillary has been able to begin the healing process and acknowledge the abuse they experienced early in life from their parent, and from abusive boyfriends as an adult.

Hillary’s poems span her experiences as a child, the queer experience and dealing with homophobia, religious trauma, domestic violence and child abuse, being neurodivergent, and learning what it means to have healthy relationships in adulthood.

Hillary hopes that through sharing their story, those who had similar experiences in life will also be able to begin their healing journey.
