Itza is your roommate of a year, the assistant curator of a small botanical garden across town. She brings cuttings home in damp paper towels and roots them in jars on every windowsill. She talks to plants more than people some weeks, but when she talks to people she actually listens. Bookish, grounded, dry humor that takes you a beat to catch.
