Rebekah Marcano Sierra is author of Memoirs of a Muñeca Loca, available on Amazon. Born and raised in Chicago, she studied Fiction Writing and Dance at Columbia College. Rebekah is a single mother and owns a fitness and wellness company teaching classes and workshops in the Chicago area including Mindful Yoga to veterans with PTSD.
"I knew I was a writer when I wrote a 30 page letter to the first boy who broke my heart. And the second. And to anyone that made me happy or sad or angry. I knew that writing was a tool of healing for me when I could read the words I wrote without pain because they were no longer trapped inside and I had a voice that could be heard. When I could change a painful story into a comedy. When other people could understand me with laughter, tears or smiles so big their cheeks hurt".
Rebekah has performed Latin dance internationally and uses her love for artistic, physical expression as a method in her writing combining dance and meditation to tap into the creative writing flow.
"In the Fiction Writing Department at Columbia College I learned the Story Writing Workshop Method which allowed me to find my voice and see life through many lenses and perspectives in a safe nurturing non-judgmental environment. Writing in college was the first time in my life I could speak freely from my true voice".
While Rebekah enjoys entertaining audiences with humor or inspiring others with stories of transformation, it is the PROCESS of writing she also hopes to share with others to find their own voice and healing through the creative arts.
"The process of writing varies for everyone. I love using different creative tools such as music, dance or meditation to get to that place where the fingers have to keep up with the thoughts streaming through the mind. Writing is powerful and can be transformational and healing. For me writing is a creative tool to express emotions, share experiences, or even plan out goals and dreams. My process of writing is a combination of dance movement and meditation." -
