Meet J de laVega.

J de laVega is an author-illustrator currently residing in northern NJ with her children, partner, and smelly dog who’s name is Princess Barkington, but should be Princess Fartington.

She never finished college, and the military sucked, but she likes to think she turned out alright.

J is a proud advocate of representation, social justice, and believes everyone has a story that needs to be heard.

Her ultimate goal is to build a community safe haven where mental, emotional, financial, and physical labor is shared in order to uplift each other closer towards our personal goals. #notacult

You can most often find J in her garden, trying to convince her collard greens that mites are not good partners and they could do better, or attempting to convince her husband that fluffy cows are an emotional investment we all will benefit from (but mainly her).
