Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez is a Nicaraguan-American writer and activist known for her powerful explorations of race, identity, and Latinx experiences. She gained widespread recognition with her debut book, "For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts," which addresses colorism, systemic oppression, and resilience within marginalized communities. Born in Managua, Nicaragua, and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Rodríguez draws from her personal encounters with discrimination, including childhood experiences of colorism among Latino peers.
Rodríguez holds a Master of Divinity from Vanderbilt University and dedicates her work to making academic theories on race, gender, and colonialism accessible to broader audiences. In 2013, she founded Latina Rebels, a platform amplifying Latinx voices, which has grown to over 300,000 followers. Her writing has been featured in prominent outlets such as Huffington Post Latino Voices, Cosmopolitan, and Mitú, and she was invited to the White House in 2016. Unapologetically outspoken, Rodríguez centers Latinx narratives with urgency, challenging systemic inequities through storytelling and advocacy.
