 I bought this book in August and after consuming it in less than a few days, I'm really disappointed in myself for taking such a long time to read it! It had everything a girl could ask for in a book! 

1.An Afro-Latina main character. 

2.Characters that come from a lower socio-economic background.

3.Queer female characters of color, especially Black and Latina characters of color.

4. Characters that reflected the Hip-Hop culture without being offensive, appropriating or stereotypical.

2nd Annual Diversity Month Day 20: Author Interview w/ Veronica Chambers +Kindle Fire 6" and Book Giveaway!

So today's awesome author is a woman we've been a fan of for more than a decade. Our first exposure to her was in the awesome article(which we still have, but is nowhere to be found on the internet!) in Latina magazine titled "Will The Real Latina Please Stand Up?"

It was dated in July 2002, and featured three women, all Latina(one white, one black, and one mestizo) who often had to prove their latin identity, especially to others who were Latino.

This article was a friggin turning point for us. Never had we seen our own experience articulated ANYWHERE. We were in love with Veronica Chambers ever since then. That article showed us we had nothing to prove. We were Black. We were Latino. We were both.

This is the first time we've ever tried to contact her, so we were THRILLED she wanted to participate in our Diversity Month event!

Now, with our further adieu!
