Author: Vilma Luz Caban April 17, 2026 Duration: 49:58
In this episode of Write… Reflect… Reimagine, I sit down at Casa de María Publisher's headquarters in Toa Alta, Puerto Rico, for a deeply personal conversation with Nuyorican artist, artisan, and cultural anthropologist Lisa Valle.

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when writers speak freely about the craft and the challenges they've faced, and that's the space Casa de Maria Publisher: WRITE...REFLECT...REIMAGINE aims to occupy. Born from an independent publishing house dedicated to lifting up diverse and underrepresented voices, this podcast serves as a genuine meeting point. It’s where emerging and established writers, poets, and screenwriters from marginalized backgrounds can find a sense of community and tangible advice. You’ll hear powerful, in-depth discussions with published authors and visionary artists who share not just their successes, but the real, often messy, journey of bringing work to the page and then to the public. These episodes go beyond simple inspiration, delving into the practical strategies needed to navigate the complex publishing landscape. Tuning in feels less like a lecture and more like pulling up a chair to a vital, ongoing dialogue about the power of storytelling. The entire Casa de Maria podcast is built on the belief that every writer's perspective is essential, and each conversation reinforces the idea that the literary world is richer when more voices are heard and supported.
