Status Updates From Clap When You Land

Elizabeth Acevedo, my poetic queen! I love her spoken word performances and her debut, Poet X. I admired how she shed a light on the unrecognized tragedy that strongly impacted her cultural community in this one. Camino and Yahaira were both such strong characters, and I think their complex emotions surrounding their father, grief, and their different life circumstances was so beautifully done. 5🌟

One quote that stood out to me from Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo is, “We are not all given the same beginnings.” It made me think about how people’s backgrounds shape who they are, and how understanding someone’s story can change the way you see them.

Such a touching moment between sisters ❤️🥹
