Julietta (Jules) Vázquez

Julietta (Jules) Vázquez is a proud Taíno descendant, dancer, and community advocate from South Portland, Maine. She’s in her second year at the University of Southern Maine, studying Political Science and Law. Jules first got involved with The Telling Room in fourth grade through a residency program and later became the winner of the 2023 Statewide Writing Contest. When she’s not writing, she’s on stage with Maine State Ballet or serving as the youth representative on the South Portland Human Rights Commission. In her free time, you can find her at the beach, listening to music, hunting for secondhand treasures in Portland, or discovering her next favorite iced coffee.
