Playwright, Orgasms

Gaby Flores is a 21-year-old Chicana. Her goal is to change the world one smile at a time, and bring taboo subjects to light by finding elegant ways to write about them.  She wants her work and her art to create a bridge between our flawed society and a more harmonious civilization where women are free from the fear of sexual assault and people take care of each other and the planet.
