Yasmín Ramírez

In issue 16 of #TheLatinaPress, we celebrate Leo season, discuss that Emmys snub, and make some summer reading recommendations.

In her recently released “¡Ándale, Prieta!,” Mexican-American author Yasmín Ramírez shares a moving ode to her childhood in El Paso, Texas, growing up a “prieta.” This debut memoir is a love letter to Yasmín’s family, her grandmother, and to women everywhere who have felt silenced, pained, or alone.
