A review by frizolio
For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts: A Love Letter to Women of Color by Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez

5.0

Will be thinking about the messages in this book for a long time to come, especially as they relate to my mission as an educator. The author brilliantly weaves her own life story with research, history, and social commentary. Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez is simultaneously angry and hopeful and exhausted and inspired, reinforcing the importance of challenging systemic racism, classicism, sexism, and white supremacy. Knowledge is the key to liberation and freedom for BIWOC to live the life that THEY want and not the one prescribed for them by men, family, spiritual leaders, or society.
