Un placer,

Karla James is an emerging Salvadoran-American writer whose work explores identity, inheritance, and survival. Born to immigrant parents and raised between languages, she writes to make sense of displacement, both personal and generational. Her prose lingers in the liminal spaces between memory and myth, where grief and wonder coexist. Her work reflects a writer committed to witnessing lived experience and reimagining the stories we all inherit.

“Lady, Lady” portraits of women creating, tending, making, becoming.

“Neighbors” a series of intimate portraits of the people who shape our cities in North Carolina.
