Badass Ladies You Should Know:
Author and poet
Erika Sánchez
One of the best things about hosting the Badass Ladies series is that the women profiled are always introducing me to even more amazing people. Thanks to last month’s Christa Desir, today we have author and poet Erika Sánchez, whose work has appeared in Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and more, and won a multitude of awards and fellowships. Her debut YA novel, I AM NOT YOUR PERFECT MEXICAN DAUGHTER , is coming fall 2017 from Knopf.
