Thank you to NetGalley for providing an early copy of this book.
There are a lot of inspiring words and quotes throughout this book which is the point of it. There are some pages that 1 page bios while others have a quote only.
It reminded me of the Rebel Girls books which wasn't bad since I'm a fan of that publisher.

ARC REVIEW🩷🌵
"Viva Latina!" is an absolute joy to read! It brings together the stories of incredible Latinas, each accompanied by a quote that captures their spirit, followed by a short but impactful biography. The illustrations… chulísimas!
The chapters are organized into eight sections: "Creer" (Believe), "Construir" (Build), "Explorar" (Explore), "Inspirar" (Inspire), "Amor Propio" (Self-Love), "Resiliencia" (Resilience), "Dirigir" (Lead), and "Familia" (Family). These topics are so fitting because they reflect the diverse and inspiring journeys of many Latinas, highlighting their creativity, strength, and love for family and community.
As a fan of Nopalera, I was excited to learn that the book's author is the creator of this beloved brand. Her passion for celebrating Latina culture and heritage shines through every page, making this book a true gem. "Viva Latina!" is not just a collection of stories; it's a beautiful celebration of Latina empowerment and resilience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an inspiring and uplifting read!

I am not a Latina (by birth) and I find most self-help books, motivational quote collections, short interview collection books - excuse my language - lame, unoriginal and uninspiring. Yet, I have read a many books by this publisher and liked most of them, and I read a sample of this book on Amazon before requesting it.
This is the type of motivating and inspiring content that I like! The quality of the design and the layout keep your attention, and the content is very well-selected. Most importantly, the advice is genuinely original, useful and powerful.
