Quick 140 page read. I loved reading this first thing in the morning. Highly recommend to children of immigrants or to anybody wanting to hear motivating stories of Latina’s sharing their experiences of adversity. 💪

a trailblazer is one who forges a path and makes a way for others.. as a first generation latina you will always be the first to lay the base for others to follow.

this is such an inspiring read about the experiences that many children of immigrants have gone through. I loved reading about Janet Escobar’s experience and how she persevered.
this book is about taking ownership of your life and achieving your dreams.
Ed Mylett said it perfectly, “The actions of your life will echo for eternity.” Push forward amiga.
