J.L. Orango

J.L. Orango is a British Columbia writer based in Kamloops. Her work explores coercive control, survival, motherhood, family responsibility, and the long reconstruction of identity after trauma.

She writes from lived experience while shaping as literary narrative rather than testimony alone.
