Wendy Griffin is a journalist,[1] author[2] [3] [4] and translator. She is originally from Pittsburgh, PA.[5] She previously taught at the Escuela Superior del Profesorado (now UPN, Universidad Pedogogica Nacional) and the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) in Tegucigalpa. She wrote two hundred and fifty articles for Honduras This Week[6] and lived in Honduras for many years.[7] [8] She wrote extensively on the Garifuna,[9] Pech[10] and Miskito people of Honduras.
