This is a beautiful anthology featuring fifteen voices from the Latine diaspora. Each story reminds us that the Latine diaspora and its experiences vary, yet they are all valid and uniquely yours. 

Every story was solid and unique. But my favorite essays were the ones discussing dual identities and intersectionality and navigating those identities. The essays also discussed queerness, colorism, imposter syndrome, politics, and coming of age.

The stories that stood out to me were:

-The Price of Admission by Naima Coster

-Paraíso Negro by Khalil Haywood

-A Mi Ordern - A Meditation on Dichos by Elizabeth Acevedo 

I switched between the book and the audiobook; both were enjoyable. I preferred the audiobook since every author reads their essays, and it felt like I was listening to a friend share their story.
