On Growing Up Afro-Latina - Meet the Author: Rukia K.

In this episode, I'm joined by Rukia K., author of Latina Looks Like Me/ Latina Como Yo. She discusses why she dedicated her book to her inner child, what life was like growing up in Michigan in a Tanzanian-Panamanian home, the constant need to explain her Afro-Latino heritage, and how she shares her multicultural heritage with her son.  Rukia K. is the author and founder of Latina Looks Like Me, an empowerment brand dedicated to educating the world about the diversity and beauty of the Latino culture. The Michigan native is a second-generation immigrant born to parents from Tanzania and Panama. She is an Afro-Latina who is proud of her culture and excited to have a platform that caters to her community. For more information, visit www.latinalookslikeme.com.
