jared Cetz

jared Cetz (any/él/leti’) is a first-gen Maya Mexican writer / rapper / poet from The Numbers, SE Portland & Chunhuhub, QRoo and co-founder of Boca Ardiente. Around una fogata, between the teasing of lovers, under a tear-soaked pillow, beside relatives (both human & non-human), beyond borders, jared’s writing explores the ephemeral, the genealogical, and the intimate—often while sharing cafecito with loved ones. jared holds a BA in Ethnic Studies from Brown University and is currently a member of Portland’s 2026 Slamlandia Team.
