M. G. Hughes is a Black and Filipino poet and novelist. Born and raised in Oceanside, California, her passion for creative writing and literature dates back to her early school days when her grandmother, an accomplished educator, encouraged her to read everything and write. Hughes resides in San Diego and recently graduated from Southern New Hampshire University. She earned her BA in Professional Writing and Communications and studied African-American History, African-American Literature, Studies in Poetry, and Contemporary Fiction. If she’s not writing, she’s probably watering her houseplants or walking her German Shepherd.
