Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez joins Tamarindo Podcast to discuss her new book: Tías and Primas, On Knowing and Loving the Women Who Raise Us. Delsy and Brenda discuss the themes in Prisca’s work, and then we hear directly from the writer and activist about what inspired the book and what she hopes readers will take from this love letter to the women who raise us. 

Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez was born in Managua, Nicaragua but calls Nashville, Tennessee home. She got her Masters of Divinity from Vanderbilt University in the Spring of 2015. The bulk of her work is around making accessible, through storytelling and curating content, the theories and heavy material that is oftentimes only taught in the racist/classist institutions known as academia.
