‘Crush’ is a hilarious, heartwarming movie about embracing identity, being fearless, and letting go of fantasies—all in the name of queer love.

The Latinx Sixteen Candles is a chance to celebrate our culture and provide representation that is much more nuanced than the original. 

Dominican and Caribbean-American author Naima Coster is unafraid to tell extraordinary stories about ordinary families, especially the women that lead them. Her sophomore novel “What’s Mine and Yours” is now out in paperback.

Euphoria’s two Latina characters, Maddy and Kat, offer more fuel to the backlash fire, deepening rather than undercutting Latina stereotypes.

YA author Crystal Maldonado is making her mark on Latinx readers across the world. Crystal’s stories center fat, beautiful, brown girls chasing the love they’ve always deserved but haven’t received–until now.

Despite the girls’ lives being torn apart by war, the heart of ‘Noche de Fuego’ is not their fear but the love they share.

Finding out last week that Netflix had canceled ‘Gentefied’ after only two seasons felt like a gut-punch. And I know what to blame: capitalism.

The author of 17 YA, middle-grade, and adult fiction novels, Zoraida Córdova has established herself as an essential voice in the Latinx publishing space, exploring fantastical worlds, science fiction universes, and magical realism with an Ecuadorian twist. Her most recent novel, The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, is a stunning exploration of matriarchy, memorializing the past, and the inherent divisions and yet unbreakable connections throughout time.

There was nothing quite like hearing Ana Morales say, “I am a brown lesbian woman” in the middle of a corporate boardroom in Gentefied’s second season.
