Eteya has been looking for magic her entire life. Her deep appreciation of nature comes from her childhood surrounded by the redwoods, beaches and fog of Northern California. A queer mixed race Chicana woman, Eteya often finds herself exploring community, identity, and the power of the marginal perspective through her work. She is currently working on two new full-lengths, a poetry chapbook, and a handful of short plays (while trying to maintain her sanity).
