Aleksis Rae Ancheta grew up and still resides in the Bay Area in Northern California. As a freelance marketer, Aleksis has spent years writing and editing copy, reviewing artwork, and launching marketing campaigns (some of which you may have seen). During the COVID-19 pandemic, Aleksis found solace in writing and illustrating her debut book to You. An auntie to many nieces and nephews (more than a handful born during the pandemic), to You is a celebration of the happy paths taken to rebuild love, joy, and hope.
