¡Ándale, Prieta! Book Trailer
Happy release day to El Paso-based author, @Yasmín Ramírez! ✍️ 🎉 Her debut, ¡Ándale Prieta!, is an inspiring memoir about the resilience of women, family bonds, moving through grief and finding your identity.
Set in El Paso, Yasmín shares her experience on the border and how that shaped her as a person. The memoir explores the adversities that can come with being bi-cultural, not feeling like you fit in, and how grief transforms you. Yasmín faced incredible hardships after her grandmother’s death; she became directionless, tried on different dreams and career paths, and relied on drinking in bars to help her cope with her pain and feelings. Eventually she garnered the strength to surpass the dark times and focus on her passion for writing.
