jared Cetz (Undergraduate Student, Brown University)

Hi! My name is jared (he/him/él/leti’), I grew up in so-called Portland, Oregon, and my family is from so-called Quintana Roo, MX. I am Maya (de la peninsula)/Mexican/Chicano/Loud/(Spoken Word) Poet/Rapper/Student/Writer/Son/Brother/Friend/Young Ancestor. On Brown’s campus I help lead MEChA, co-program our Latinx Heritage Series, am a member of Students for Justice in Palestine, and am a poet with WORD! Performance Poetry among other things. I also study Ethnic Studies with a focus on (but not limited to) Chicanx, Latinx, and Latin American Indigenous identities, futurisms, world-building, knowledge accessibility, and language revitalization. Kanántabaj!
