Join us in the Elizabeth Muse Norris Classroom for an author visit from Anastatia Carabello to discuss her book Growing Pains.

Anastatia Caraballo is a poet, licensed massage therapist, and a mama bear of two curly-haired wildflower children and two fur babies. Born in Burbank, California, life has taken her all over the West Coast and Midwest. She has been writing poetry and short stories since age 8 and loves to learn and experience all that life has to offer, including studying abroad, reading, Tarot, making herbal compresses, and being a self-taught bass guitar noob. Through all of life’s adventures, she has digested a plethora of lessons, blessings, and experiences, word vomiting and processing them through the catharsis of writing and therapy. Her work delves into the abyss of mental health, including eating disorders, self-harm, familial strife, grief, purpose, and what it means to be human.
