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!
