'I can say with certainty that poetry is inevitable'

'I am a Caribbean woman, Indigenous, Black, and White. I was born in the vibrant and passionate city of Barranquilla. I love colours, fruit, the sea, my coconut water, witches, the moon, dancing, writing, acting, and discovering new stories. Above all, I enjoy life and I'm a lover of mystery. Freedom is my banner, and poetic creation is my universe.'

'By the way, my name isn't Lilian, it's Lilián. The accent mark is power, temperament, it's closing the door... and leaving an echo.'
