The Announcement
Mija, You Were Built to Lead is here.
This book began as a whisper in my own life — the voice that said I belonged in rooms I had been taught to admire from the doorway.
It is a guide for the Latina who leads with her whole self: her cultura, her memory, her family, her fire. Five flames — la chispa, la voz, la mesa, la guardia, la herencia — shape every chapter.
Mija, you were never too much. You were built to lead.
— Dr. Brenda Ortiz McGrath
