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

5.0

Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez has a lot to say and from a perspective that is not my own. I am happy to sit with this book and perspective and really explore ways in which I am challenged to rethink and reframe. I love how she is here to lay it all out clearly as she experiences it and refuses to coat her message in respectability in order to make others feel comfortable. Frank conversations about topics you are probably expecting in feminist theory: intersectionality, femininity, the patriarchy, as well as dismantling notions of higher-education in ways that I have not explored, white fragility, racism of the variety that shocks the hell out of some white people when they are told the shit they are doing is absolutely- in fact- racist, and much more.
I equally enjoyed the moments that called me in and made me analyze my way of existing as well as the many hell yeah moments.
I've already passed this book along and told many others to check it out.
Highly recommend.
