Esmeralda Santiago was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She came to the United States at 13, the eldest in a family that would eventually include 11 children. Ms. Santiago attended New York City’s Performing Arts High School, where she majored in drama and dance. After eight years of part-time study at community colleges, she transferred to Harvard University with a full scholarship. She graduated magna cum laude in 1976.
