Lilian Comas-Díaz was born in Chicago, Illinois, moving to Puerto Rico when she was six, and living there until early 20’s. Puerto Rico played a large role in her self identify and understanding of diversity. She grew up knowing she wanted to enter the field of psychology due to the fact that her mother was a nurse and grandmothers were healers. Comas-Díaz learned a lot of about cultural individuality during her time in Puerto Rico and was there during the Independence Movement When Comas-Díaz returned to the United States, she studied psychology in graduate school and began delivering psychological services at churches, schools, and ghettos. Her goal was to educate groups underrepresented in psychological research, integrating her personal beliefs with her studies. Since she has been back, Comas-Díaz has also been involved in the APA (American Psychology Association) and the CWP (Committee on Women in Psychology). She has worked understanding the connection between psychology and social/political issues.
