If you are a Cabrona, you are strong, tough and a badass. You may be used to taking on leadership in your work and your familia. You might not feel like there is time for you to feel your feelings and prioritize your healing. I wrote this book for you! Your feelings and your healing are important.

This book is not a TO-DO list. It is an exploration that invites you to take the time to check-in with yourself and listen to your feelings. We will explore how our Latinx/e cultures, identities and trauma can disconnect us from feeling and reinforce the Adelante! approach. This push-through approach can emphasize resilience and leave less room for feelings, vulnerability and yes, even breakdowns.

If we want to shape cultures that make space for healing and mental health, it has to start with each of us relating to ourselves in more compassionate ways. I want you to know that your feelings are an important part of your wellness and our collective liberation. Welcome to this journey, Cabrona! Let’s get started.
