Mujer de Color

by Alejandra Jimenez

Concocted into a short collection of poems, lyrical essays, prayers, and portraits, Mujer de Color(es): A Poetic Experience is—an ode to imperfections, an ode to the divinity within the mundane, an ode to our metamorphic culturas, an ode to the reverberant voices of brown women and femmes. It is the act of looking at your fears straight in the face and honoring them for trying to protect you but surrendering them to achieve growth. It is a reclamation of our feminine nurturing, resilience, sexuality, creativity, spirituality, and so many more. It is one path, of a billion, towards healing one person and, through it, the collective feminine consciousness; Y, esto es solo el principio.

This is such a beautiful collection of poetry, essays, and prayers. Unlearning Shame is my favorite poem. 💚

Powerful!

Alejandra Jimenez is one of the best Mexican American poets out there! Her poetry collection is raw, honest and so powerful. Love to understand her ChicanX experience as a queer Latina.
