From Being Told, “You’re not a good writer,” to Publishing Two Books! With Prisca Mojica Rodriguez Ep. 60

Welcome to episode 60 of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time! Today’s guest is author Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodriguez. She was born in Nicaragua and moved to the United States with her family in elementary school. She is the founder of Latina Rebels. She studied at Vanderbilt University, earning her Master of Divinity. She’s published two books For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts: A Love Letter to Women of Color and Tías and Primas: On Knowing and Loving the Women Who Raise Us.  Listen in as Prisca shares the opportunity her dad received in the US, which is why they moved, growing up in Miami and eventually moving to Nashville for graduate school. And her writing process! Can you believe she was told she wasn’t a good writer, and now she has published TWO BOOKS!? It goes to show that you can’t let ANYONE tell you - you can’t do something!  With Love, Heidy Connect with Prisca: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/priscadorcas/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latinarebels/  Website: https://www.priscadorcas.com/  Here are a few ways you can support this podcast. 1.
