Millie Rose Diaz
When Millie Rose Diaz learned her hometown was the beginning backdrop to the first Supreme Court case won by Mexican Americans, she found a purpose. Before that, she spent five years as sports and managing editor of the Jackson County Herald-Tribune, where she is now a part-time reporter. She lives in Edna and writes fiction accompanied by her exceptionally perfect black cat, My Love.
