An 8-year-old San Francisco poet is sharing her love of her culture through her work and will be featured as a Grand Marshal in this year's Carnaval parade.
Genesis Ulloa is an 8-year-old girl who is wise beyond her years and eager to share her passion with others, that passion, writing poetry. Her work is mostly in Spanish and is filled with names and stories about notable figures, history and about the love of her culture, something she holds near and dear to her heart.
Her love of writing started when her mom gave her a book of poetry so she could become a better reader. Her mom also gave her a notebook so they could work on poems together. Genesis says her mom is her biggest inspiration, Her parents came to the United States about 15 years ago from Honduras and are grateful the community has embraced her love of poetry. Speaking through an interpreter, they expressed how proud they are of their daughter, and they hope to one day return to Honduras to inspire other children.
"I recited a poem at City Hall, and I am going to wear the exact same dress, it's colorful and it represents everything I like."
