ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Luisa Navarro is a Mexican-American journalist, author, and entrepreneur located in Brooklyn, New York.

After graduating from Columbia Journalism School in 2013 and working in both local and national newsrooms as a producer, Luisa realized there was a constant negative theme being shared by the media when it came to Mexico. Luisa decided to combat this negative press by launching her own blog called “Mexico In My Pocket” in 2015. The blog has grown into a lifestyle brand and gift shop, and a resource where people from all over the world can come together and celebrate Mexican culture.

In her first book, “Mexico’s Day of the Dead,” she guides readers through the rich traditions of Día de Muertos, from breaking down the holiday’s iconic imagery to what goes into an altar. Tales from her travels are brought to life by photography from Christine Chitnis.

When Luisa isn’t traveling to Mexico, she enjoys being home in Brooklyn with her husband, Rich, and her son, Luca.
