Daniela Capistrano (@dcap on Twitter) hails from California but in 2004 gave up road rage and boredom for the Big Apple. Since then she has been a creative nomad, most recently residing in an increasingly gentrified neighborhood in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

She is 5ft4 and not Italian. Nope. She is a Chicana Mexi-CAN (not a Mexi-can’t).
