Que no se nos olvide!! Join us THIS Saturday, September 5, 12pm to celebrate the release of Chancla: Healing Our Families, Ourselves, and Our Culture Through Nonviolent Parenting by 𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒆 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂 🌻✨🦋🧿 ليزلي بريسيلا in conversation with Adriana Alejandre, founder of Latinx Therapists Network, with a special introduction by Tía Chucha's Centro Cultural co-founder and elder Maestra Trini Rodriguez ✨

Fun fact: CHANCLA’s book cover was designed by friends of Tía Chucha's Centro Cultural, the one and only Kalli Arte Collective whose beautiful mural will be gracing the space just above this platica 🥹✨🙏🏽

CHANCLA is a parenting guide that speaks directly to Latinx families with language, history, and lived experience that honors and celebrates our cultura—while helping readers unlearn violence and shame as tools of discipline.

Two weeks out and one whole (and beautiful precious) review 🥲

Here’s the thing nobody tells you as a first time author but I’ll say it: reviews are how your book gets shown to people who have never heard of you. It’s the mechanism to get found, especially on these massive bookselling sites 🫪

So right now CHANCLA is mostly reaching people who already know me, which is YOU, but I also want it to reach the Latina mami at 10pm googling how to stop yelling.

Amazon, B&N, Goodreads, wherever you shop - REVIEWS ARE EVERYTHING RN 🙏🏽

As we travel to different communities, it has been so humbling to see the love and appreciation from our comunidad. Listening to people share their stories, how my work has impacted their lives, it fills my heart and reminds me why I do what I do 🫂

Thank you to my maestras y maestros who shared their medicine with me so that I could bring it back to our familias, and thank you to all of our supporters who make this work possible 🙏🏽🫀

Our tour is just getting started. Check out the last slide to see where we’ll be next📍

CHANCLA received this starred review by Publishers Weekly in MAY of this year and I hadn’t shared it! I honestly had no idea how big of a deal this was! Only about 5% of the ~7,000 books reviewed annually by Publishers Weekly receive a starred review. 🥹✨

My book. It’s a good book, y’all. I promise. Help me get to the NYT Bestseller status by getting one or more copies by SUNDAY! Here is Publishers Weekly full review:

“Priscilla, founder of the children’s rights organization Latinx Parenting, debuts with a compassionate call to end “Chancla Culture,” or the use of corporal punishment, shame, and fear to get children to follow rules. Chancla is Spanish for sandal or flip-flop, but in Latinx culture, the term has become synonymous with punishment because adults are known to use them to hit children. She argues Chancla Culture behaviors can have detrimental effects on child development, whereas consistent, nurturing environments create secure attachment styles, leading to better parent-child relationships and ultimately strengthening the wider community. Priscilla traces the roots of hierarchical family systems and strict deference to authority back to colonization, noting that when parents express sentiments like “I s***k you because I love you,” it’s “as though they can prevent violence from befalling their children by... enacting violence against them first.” In order to break the cycle, Priscilla encourages examining the parenting blueprints one grew up with, “reparenting” oneself by connecting with joy and creativity, and learning to set boundaries, which can be especially important for those who while growing up didn’t get much practice saying “no” without repercussions. Mixing historical insights, firsthand accounts, and practical guidance, Priscilla supports parents who wish to “honor our community while choosing a different path.” Readers will feel seen.”

READERS WILL FEEL SEEN!!!!!
