I chose this anthology as my LibroFm pick for the month of November because I love a huge audiobook cast. It's hard to rate an anthology like this because all of essays are so different and I'm going to have a different level of appreciation for each of them.
Honestly I wished some of the essays were longer because I felt like I was just getting to know the speaker when it would switch to a new perspective. It's clear that the editor of the collection put a lot of thought into curating a range of voices and experiences from people with different takes on family, culture, and identify. There was a special emphasis on Afro-Latinx identities and I'm glad that particular multiracial experience wasn't overlooked. An essay that has continued to resonate with me was the very first one, "Eres Un Pocho" by Mark Oshiro. I don't usually indulge in #NonfictionNovember but I had no regrets about picking this collection up!
