féi hernandez is a trans woman who identifies as Two-Spirit and was formerly undocumented. Having lived in the U.S. for over three decades, she reflects on her journey toward naturalization and her current pursuit of a master’s degree in writing in Chicago. Though critical of academia, féi uses it as a tool to refine her craft as a writer and visual artist. Her forthcoming book, Undocumented, is a love letter to undocumented communities—particularly trans women and femmes—where she critically engages with the ways state systems define and dehumanize individuals.
