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

5.0

This book was recommended to me by a fellow Taino and I’m so glad I finally read it! My upbringing was very much focused on academic achievement as my parents were the first to attend and graduate college in their families. We eventually moved to the U.S. because they understood the advantages it would give my sister and I. While technically not immigrants because Puerto Ricans are citizens, the author’s experiences helped me realize things about my own that I knew but didn’t fully understood until now. I am at a loss for words to adequately express how this book made me feel other than to say I feel seen.
