What People Say About The Book

Testimonials

Valeria Aloe has written an inspiring book about something an entire community has known to be true, yet no one has ever given voice to. But no longer. With passion, empathy, and power, Uncolonized Latinas will not only open the eyes of Americans in general, but will be pivotal in accelerating the transformation of Latinas to a place of influence, accomplishment, and respect.
Sydney FinkelsteinDartmouth College professor, bestselling author of Superbosses, and host of the podcast, The Sydcast
The purpose of this book is invaluable. The mere possibility of understanding at a glance the misunderstood loyalty to our limiting social, cultural, and family beliefs and how they have developed a trend that has not allowed us to reach our full potential as Latina women, is absolutely revealing and a huge service that we will cherish forever.
Elba EscobarActress, TV host, Singer and Writer

If you are a Latina, you need to read this book! If you are not, you must read this book! In every story she captures the essence, the flaws and strengths that make us unique, but also helps us recognize where we are coming from and how far we can go! Go Valeria go! I can't wait to share your book with the world!

Uncolonized Latinas reopened my inner me. Being a Latina woman who has experienced many hardships between living two worlds, this book was able to assure me that I’ll always have the uncolonized Latina within me. I will forever be thankful for Valeria, for reminding me that being Latina is nothing to be ashamed about. Thank you for your love of Latinas. You inspire me to continue working for equality after 45 yrs. You are a sister.

Uncolonized Latinas is an urgent and illuminating piece on the no-longer hidden roots to the way we, Latinas, exist in the world. By placing the magnifying glass on the Latina experience, Aloe eloquently and vividly shows the “how to” unlearning, learning and relearning with a decolonized mindset in a colonized system.
Sara PeñaDirector of the New Jersey Center for Hispanic Policy, Research, and Development, and founder of Boys to Leaders Foundation
Uncolonized Latinas is a beacon. Not only does it shine a light on the causes and consequences of the colonized mindset but, even more importantly, Aloe has used this knowledge – gleaned from her own experience and that of her many interviewees – to illuminate the path forward to a completely new world of opportunity for Latinas in this wonderful, empowering book.
Gustavo BondoniAuthor of Safe and Sorry, and of over three hundred stories published in fifteen countries.
If you are a Latina, or an Ally, this book will help you deeply understand how the colonial mindset has shaped the culture and perspectives of generations of Latinas. With our minds and hearts open by this knowledge, Valeria shows us how to harness it for our individual and collective success to lead the lives we dream to lead!
