Last Friday we had the opening reception of the first exhibition of the book. I printed the Spanish version with subtitles in English. It was great to see people I haven't seen in a while and show everyone on what I've been working so hard lately! Thank you to everyone who made it and to the library because those women are incredible.  

And here we go!
After a month long of fundraising to be able to self-publish this book, I reached my goal and a little bit more. That means the book will be printed in English and Spanish. I will also have available the digital version in English, Spanish and Catalan. This past couple of months have been an intense ride... So much work goes into this, from researching printing companies, to creating all the illustrations, all the marketing and images to promote the campaign, all the emails, newsletters, text messages and sleepless nights. 
But it is worth. I am really happy with the result and that I was able to pull this one off. Now I am officially an author, and I illustrated my own book.
Let the logistics begin. I have to fulfill all the orders, once I receive the printed board books pack them to send, and also email all the digital rewards…
I really want to thank everyone that believed in me and supported me through this process. Every person that donated because thanks to all of you I will be able to open new doors and create new paths for me and other people that like me are interested in the betterment of their communities.
Thank you!!
