Prisca Dorcas Mojica RodrDespite finding acclaim and recognition in cities like LA and New York, and through her Instagram page @LatinaRebels, she struggles to find her place and feel seen in Nashville. She attributes part of that to being a disruptor- she was the one asking the tough questions and wearing upside down crosses while enrolled at Vanderbilt Divinity School. At the same time, she questions if people in Nashville aren't quite ready for an author like her who is forthright about writing for a Latine audience— not white people. Today we’ll talk about her journey to Nashville, what being Latina means to her, and what she wants to see from the Nashville Latine community and Nashville as a whole.
This episode was produced by Elizabeth Burton.
