📚 Marie Arana: Telling the Latino Story Through Literature 🎙️ From the very beginning, words have been important to Marie Arana. Growing up in a bicultural household, the Peruvian American writer developed a passion for storytelling that shaped her literary career. From serving as books editor for the Washington Post to leading the Library of Congress's literary initiatives, Arana has championed diverse voices and narratives. Today, her mission is clear: to tell the untold stories of Latinos. Through books like Silver, Sword, and Stone and LatinoLand, she is building a monument to the richness of Latino culture—a culture that deserves to be seen, read, and celebrated. 🎧 Listen to her full story on The Latino Majority Podcast: https://hubs.la/Q03fCfYw0 #TheLatinoMajority #LatinoVoices #RepresentationMatters #LatinoLeadership
