Michele Serros was known for her books, filled with witty stories and essays about growing up Chicana in a Southern California farm town, with many now required reading for many cultural studies and writing courses. After coming up in the Los Angeles slam poetry scene in the early 1990s, Serros toured with Lollapalooza in 1994, performing poetry from her debut Chicana Falsa.
After her second book of stories, 鈥淗ow to be a Chicana Role Model,鈥 became a Los Angeles Times bestseller, she spent a season as a writer for the George Lopez Show. Serros died at the age of 48 in her home in Berkeley on Jan. 4, 2015, after a nearly two-year battle with cancer.
