About Me

Hola, I’m Nicole Jorge, a Dominican writer and educator who writes stories from home—in a second language.

My work explores cultural identity, belonging, and the journey to finding oneself and becoming one’s own home. My stories always carry pieces of the Dominican Republic, a reflection of my deep connection to my roots. But it wasn’t always this way. For a long time, that connection felt shallow—so, so shallow.

Embracing my roots has been a journey—a path that took me from ignorance to shame and, finally, to self-awareness and pride. Now, through my stories, I hope to share that journey with others, inviting readers to experience the beauty and complexity of navigating life between worlds and to explore the universal quest for identity and belonging.
