Author Information

Antonieta Contreras, a former banker originally educated as a mathematician, is a Gestalt and trauma-trained psychotherapist with a practice in New York. She has spent a decade as a consultant, supervisor, and faculty at the Institute of Contemporary Psychotherapies (ICP). She lectures on sexual trauma at New York University and oversees consultation of various EMDR groups. Kim Ramirez is a second-generation Irish-Mexican originally from Texas. Her storytelling career has flourished in front of the camera, behind the mic, and on the stage. She grew up around bilingual working-class families where people met the challenges of life with laughter, wise cracks, and sometimes head cracks. But through a series of opportunities, she had the privilege of experiencing life among the upper echelons of society as well. This unique background allows Kim to seamlessly adapt to a wide spectrum of roles, from portraying dry comedic characters with a gritty edge to a powerful queen commanding a room. Her voice is characterized by authenticity, richness, and a deep well of knowledge as well as a sharp dryness. She takes particular pride in having narrated books across a few genres that have Queer and BIPOC characters as the leads, two communities dear to her heart. When not in her booth or in front of the camera, she's busy momin' it up: cooking, crafting, or raising hell.
