Author Talk: Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez

🌟 Dallas, this is the event you’ve been waiting for! 🌟

ARCO + Whose Books proudly present Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodriguez—acclaimed author, feminist, theologian, and advocate!

📚 You loved For Brown Girls with Tender Hearts and Sharp Edges, and now it’s time to celebrate her newest work, Tías & Primas.

✨ About the Book: Born into a large, close-knit family in Nicaragua, Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez grew up surrounded by strong, kind, funny, sensitive, resilient, judgmental, messy, and beautiful women. Whether blood relatives or chosen family, these tías and primas fundamentally shaped her view of the world—and so did the labels used to talk about them:

• The tía loca shunned for defying gender roles.
• The pretty prima put on a pedestal for her European features.
• The matriarch who is the core of her community but hides all her pain.

In Tías & Primas, the follow-up to her acclaimed debut, For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts, Mojica Rodríguez fearlessly explores these archetypes. Grappling with intergenerational trauma, colonization, and sexism, she attempts to heal the pain carried through female family lines.

This deeply felt love letter to family, community, and Latinas everywhere.
