Kate Heceta

Kate, or “the Darna of the book community”, champions diversity, meaningful representation, and giving a damn. On her blog Your Tita Kate, she recommends diverse reads, discusses representation and advocacy, promotes Filipino authors and books, and talks about the challenges faced being an international reader from the Global South. When not reading or writing, she can be found gardening, cooking, or trying her hand at a thousand other different aesthetically pleasing hobbies.
