Abstract

This project is a collection of poetry that celebrates the power of the mujeres fuertes in my life, cultural expectations and prevalent barriers. It is set in the Rio Grande Valley where the unique blend of two cultures, caused much heartache and courage. Each poem in this collection weaves a coming of age story.
