For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts: A Love Letter to Women of Color by Prisca Dorcas Mojica RodrÃguez
4.0
My eldest brother, Paul, has been a huge force in my reading life. He always gave me books when I was a kid (many of which I still own), so when he recommended this one to me, I immediately put it on hold at the library.
This is a voice that feels familiar yet new. Mojica Rodriguez discusses issues of race, gender, socioeconomic differences and taking ownership of your pride in how you represent the latinidad. It's a lot to take in, but important idea to consider.
This quote stood out the most to me: "The idea that you must elevate someone's existence means that you do not view them as capable of knowing what is best for themselves."
