Cynthia M. Portalatín has been writing and journaling since the age of seven. Penning poems, cartoons and short stories in her teens, her love of recording experiences led her to obtain Bachelor of Arts degrees in print journalism and Spanish. She has loved theater since her teens where she danced and sang in her high school’s production of “Grease.” Since then she’s sung with church choirs and as background vocalist in music ministries and friends’ bands.

 

Her book “Bloom Forever – A Poetry Journal” features 115 poems written between the ages of 17 to 45 and is available on Amazon.com (2013, Amani Publishing – published as Cynthia Lamb). Her short story “When Love Hurts” is included in “Truth Awaits You on the Other Side: An Anthology about the Consequences of Sin.” (2014, Global Multi Media Enterprises – published as Cynthia Portalatín). She has also contributed poems to books by author Tremayne Moore and is co-writer and associate producer of the web series/film “Tallahassee Legal,” created and directed by Summer Hill Seven.

 

SoMo Playhouse’s  August 1, 2017, presentation of “For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide – When the Rainbow is Enuf” in Tallahassee, Florida was Cynthia’s debut acting performance in a major speaking role which she again played the role of “Lady in Blue” in a Tampa, Florida show in December 2017. She also performed in SoMo’s “Slave Narratives” in 2018.

 

In her early years, Cynthia wrote briefly for the Capitol News Bureau at the Advocate Daily Newspaper, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and later joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture for a 20-year career in public relations and outreach where she received numerous state and national awards.
