Apologies for not blogging for a while…but in between deadlines, mom detail, and a sojourn to Maroc (for a forthcoming project, which I’ll announce later), I haven’t been able to tear myself away from…life. I’m also revamping and updating my site and blog (hoping to be done by summer’s end!) Here, a glimpse of where I’ve been.

“Drawing on the science of DNA testing and her own sense and experience of mysticism, Cepeda, an award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker, offers a “synthesis between logos and mythos” in a thoroughly engaging look at race from a Latina’s perspective on what is touted as a postracial society.” — Booklist, starred review
Raquel Cepeda is an author, filmmaker and journalist working and living in her native New York City. furthermore
Bird of Paradise: How I Became Latina is part memoir and part chronicle of Cepeda’s year-long journey to discover the truth about her ancestry while looking at what it means to be Latina today.
Bling: A Planet Rock is a feature documentary about American hip-hop's obsession with diamonds and how that intersected itself into the decade long conflict in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
And It Don’t Stop, edited by the award winning journalist Raquel Cepeda, with a foreword from Nelson George is a collection of the best articles the hip-hop generation has produced.
