This was beautiful, deep, sad, harsh, and inspiring. I related to some of it as a brown girl with sharp edges and a tender heart 💔 but I read most of this as an outsider looking in to the author's unique experience as a Nicaraguan American woman. Some parts focused on her time in academia, some on her relationships with her family and others, all of it eye opening and deeply personal. Mostly in English but lots of Spanish throughout💙 🇳🇮💙

Finished this yesterday! It was outstanding and has become one of my favorite books! Mojica Rodriguez handles so many topics so well, such as racism in academic, toxic family dynamics, and the journey to accepting oneself amidst discrimination and trauma. It was incredibly well-written and engaging. It‘s an important read for diverse individuals. I love how authentic she is in her journey and the innumerable problems that exist for BIPOC globally.
