About

Gabby is a librarian, historian, and book influencer with a passion for uncovering and sharing stories by and about underrepresented groups (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Disabled, and more). She grew up with her Puerto Rican and Dominican family and moved quite a bit as a child. This exposed her to many different ways of thinking and gave an appreciation for differences among people.​

​

She holds an M.A. in History and an M.S. in Library Science, with an Archives Management concentration. Her most recent talks have included topics such as race and the census in the United states as well as diversifying book recommendations in libraries. Gabby's research analyzes personal and societal racial identities, particularly among descendants of the African diaspora, and their effects on policy in the United States. Her research interests include the intersections of race, ethnicity, immigration, eugenics/race science, and policy in the United States.

​

 Gabby is dedicated to supporting underrepresented groups and her community through her antiracism efforts and social media accounts (Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook). She is currently working on two books!
