“‘Calladita No More: My Latina Journey and the Lessons that Shaped Me’ is truly a dream come true. It’s the book I needed at the start of my career and the one I now get to put into the world. If you’re wondering how I did it, I would describe it this way:

• A deep belief that my voice mattered and I had something important to share with women who’ve been consistently overlooked or dismissed.

• A commitment to surrounding myself with experts who believed in my purpose and who supported me every step of the way.

• A community who was hungry for what was coming, who pre-ordered my book, shared, liked or commented on my social media posts, and who otherwise reminded me to ‘keep going.’

If you have been itching to tell your own story, do it. Because what I know for sure is that we all have a story the world needs to hear.”
