¡ÁNDALE PRIETA!

Spring 2021

Yasmín Ramírez is extremely proud and excited to share her latest work ¡Ándale, Prieta!

The memoir is a labor of love, but this was one story that needed to be told.

Ita called me Prieta. She called me this because my skin is a toasted brown. Each time Prieta fell from her lips, I learned to love my dark skin.
