Yosimar Reyes
Yosimar Reyes (born September 22, 1988) is a gay Mexican-born poet and activist, who grew up in San Jose, California. His poetry style has been described as "a brave and vulnerable voice that shines light on the issues affecting Queer Immigrant Youth and the many disenfranchised communities in the U.S and throughout the world." 〔(''For Colored Boys Who Speak Softly'' ) by Yosimar Reyes (Evolutionary Productions, August 13, 2011)〕 Reyes has been mentioned as an artist in connection with immigration policy protests of the DREAM Act.〔Hernández Arriaga, Belinda. "(67 Sueños: Inspiring a Movement for Undocumented Voices to be Heard )." Association of Mexican American Educators Journal 6.1 (2013).〕
Reyes uses spoken word as a tool to empower gay, working class, and immigrant people by telling their story; his goal is to inspire more people to gain a voice and speak of their struggles. He has been guest lecturer at events on universities across California, including UC Santa Barbara,〔Emma Boorman, () "Spoken Word Poet Yosimar Reyes Brings Comedy, Conversation to Crushcakes" ''The Bottom Line'' May 2013〕 UC Berkeley〔() “Undocunation “An Evening With Artist For Immigrant Justice” ‘’University of California, Berkeley Center for Race and Gender’’ February 15, 2013.〕 and UCLA,〔Yessica Frias () “Guelaguetza” ‘’Student Event Finder’ June 2, 2013〕 speaking about his background and the struggles he overcame as a self-described “two spirit person.”
== Early life and education==
Reyes was born on September 22, 1988 in Guerrero, Mexico. He migrated from Mexico with his family at the age of 3. He grew up in East San Jose in what he describes “a very stereotypical neighborhood, apartments everywhere.” He “came out” to his family and his community at the age of 16.〔(''Yosimar Reyes entrevista para Rutas Creativas'' ) (YouTube, May 17, 2011)〕 Coincidentally that same year he began to share his work in the form of spoken word. He always had a high interest in literacy; according to Reyes, poetry has always been in his life. In middle school, he would write about his classmates who teased him about being a quiet child. He states “Students thought I was very quiet. They did not bully me but just teased me and so I would write their names in my notebook. There was poetry in that, I would write poems about them and what caused them to tease me.”〔 According to Reyes, the person who pushed him into sharing his work was Raquel Toqueta, one of his high school teachers.
Reyes states that although he does not remember Guerrero, his work is still very influenced by the place of his birth due to the story telling from his grandparents. According to Reyes’ personal facebook account, he attended Latino College Preparatory Academy where he was awarded his high school diploma in 2006. In addition to earning his high school diploma, Reyes attended Evergreen Valley College and the National Hispanic University 〔https://www.facebook.com/yosimar.reyes.1〕
