A great collection of #ownvoices Latinx short stories giving insights in the broad diaspora of experiences. I enjoyed many of these, especially the ones about struggles with dual identities and figuring out how to belong when you don't visibly appear to fit the stereotypical Latinx mold. A number of these stories address the challenges of Afro-Latinx identities and feeling like they aren't 'enough' in one way or another. There is also a really great story by Elizabeth Acevedo - a favorite author of mine. Overall a really strong collection that should be required reading. Much thanks to Libro.fm for my complimentary ALC!

Obviously some essays were great and some were so-so, but nice collection to make you think about a less-visible group in typical discussions about minority representation.

This resonated with me as I’ve lived some of these experiences myself, as a Latina.
It’s powerful, at times gut wrenching, and educational for non-Latinx people.
