If you're new to the word, decolonization, welcome, bb. It's totally okay and Dr. DeChavez, is gonna break down what it means. This episode is all about decolonizing our books and the power books have when they center POC stories. Yvette shares what it was like as a first generation Latina to get her Ph.D. She's also a mental health advocate and she shares her experience dealing with depression and anxiety. A phenomenal episode that will give you chills.
