Done! Excellent read.

Still a ways to go but I'm calling it now- this is my favorite book of the month! While I can't relate to the ethnicity, I can relate to this book both in terms as reader and as a person of color.

This book is incredible! As a person of color I can relate to a lot of what she writes, especially when she talks about the lack of representation in the school books she was assigned. I didn't read any Latino or Indigenous authors growing up so as someone with those backgrounds, and dark skin, it made me feel left out a lot of times.
