How to Talk to [Mamí & Papí] about Anything
Society & Culture:Relationships
Prisca grew up feeling controlled and intimidated by her older brother and distanced herself from him as an adult. But her Nicaraguan parents never saw anything wrong with the dynamic. And Diane Orozco, a psychotherapist who helps first-gens heal from trauma and abuse, speaks with Juleyka about how to navigate estranged relationships within our families.
Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez is the author of For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts: A Love Letter to Women of Color and the founder of Latina Rebels. You can learn more about Prisca here.
