Almost every Latina has heard the phrase calladita te ves más bonita--you look most beautiful when you are silent. It's a message rooted in machismo passed from generation to generation, and one that poet and Latine therapist, Kim Guerra, grew up on. In Badass Bonita, Guerra tells a story of coming into her own power, and guides readers through the process of finding their own. Rejecting what she was taught as a girl, she learned to use her voice and the more she listened to that inner niña, the more she unearthed her inner guerrera. Vowing never to be calladita again, she now teaches Latine women to find their voices, healing the stories and emotional wounds that have kept them silent. &nbsp; Tackling tough conversations around machismo, mental health, trauma, and intersectional identities, Badass Bonita is a guide that will help readers: <ul> <li>Understand underlying sources of wounds and trauma,</li> <li>Shift from self&#8209;silencing and into revolutionary self&#8209;love,</li> <li>Build confidence and bring positive change to relationships, family and community.</li> </ul> Lyrical and accessible, written in Kim's signature poetic, Spanglish style, Badass Bonita is perfect for readers of My Grandmother's Hands and Este dolor no es mío, -- for mothers, daughters, therapists, and mujeres poderosas everywhere ready find their wings.
