On the road

May 7, 2008

I am off to San Francisco for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America national conference.  I am speaking at a breakfast on Friday morning and then participating in a diversity panel.  While I am on the road, I thought I would leave you with a couple things…

Item #1 is an article I wrote for Lifetimetv.com on what to say and do when a loved one experiences infertility or pregnancy loss.  There are pieces sometimes as a freelance writer that you really want to do because it will bring attention to something you think is important.  And that’s how writing When She Isn’t Expecting was for me.    

Item # 2 is an announcement about a new book club for Latina readers that Borders is launching. 

Have a good end of the week and weekend and I’ll be back next week with tales of San Francisco.

What does it mean to be beautiful in America? For years, pop culture has insisted that beautiful women are tall, thin, and blonde. So what do you do if your mirror reflects olive skin, raven hair, and a short build? Hijas Americanas: Beauty, Body Image, and Growing Up Latina offers a provocative account of the struggles and triumphs of Latina forced to reconcile these conflicting realities. Rosie Molinary combines her own experience with the voices of hundreds of Latinas who grew up in the US navigating issues of gender, image, and sexuality. This empathetic ethnography exemplifies the ways in which our experiences are both profoundly individualistic and comfortingly universal.
