About the Author

Diego Perez is the writer behind the pen name Yung Pueblo. the name Yung Pueblo means “young people.” it serves to remind him of his ecuadorian roots, his experiences in activism, and that the collective of humanity is in the midst of important growth. his favourite word, liberation, took on a deeper meaning once he started meditating vipassana, as taught by s.n. goenka. through writing and speaking, he aims to support the healing of the individual, realising that when we release our personal burdens, we contribute to a global peace.
