Yung Pueblo is the pen name of Diego Perez, an Ecuadorian-American writer whose work focuses on self-awareness, emotional healing, and personal growth. He first gained a large following through his poetry on social media before publishing his debut collection Inward in 2017. That book, written in short free-verse poems, struck a chord with readers looking for accessible writing about meditation, letting go of old patterns, and learning to sit with difficult feelings.
His poetry collections (Inward, Clarity & Connection, and The Way Forward) share a similar format: brief, direct poems grouped around themes of self-knowledge and emotional maturity. His prose books take a different approach. Lighter (2022) is a longer-form exploration of how personal healing connects to broader social change, drawing on his own experience with Vipassana meditation. How to Love Better (2025) turns that lens toward relationships and what it takes to show up honestly for the people in your life. Across all five books, his writing stays grounded in the idea that real change starts with honest self-examination.
