Minerva’s Dispatch

Minerva’s Dispatch is a quarterly snail mail club inspired by my life in New York City.

Each dispatch pulls from the things that shape my days: being Mexican-American, working as an accountant, going to museums and movie theaters alone, listening to podcasts on long subway rides, wandering the city, traveling when I can, and coming home to my black cat.

Every quarter has a loose theme, explored slowly through writing, photography, and art. I think about what the month felt like, what stayed with me, and what I want to send forward. 

Inside each dispatch, you’ll find:

• A personal letter written by me
• A postcard featuring a photo I took somewhere in NYC
• A sticker sheet 
• Occasional extra surprises
