Marizol and Selenis Leyva
My Sister
In My Sister, Selenis and Marizol narrate, in alternating chapters, their shared journey, challenges, and triumphs. They write honestly about the issues of violence, abuse, and discrimination that transgender people and women of color — and especially trans women of color — experience daily. They are open about the messiness and confusion of fully realizing oneself and being properly affirmed by others, even those who love you. Ultimately, theirs is a story of hope, one that will resonate with and affirm those in the process of transitioning, watching a loved one transition, and anyone taking control of their gender or sexual identities.
XO chats with Selenis and Marizol Leyva about their journeys of self discovery, and the origins of MY SISTER now out wherever books are sold. Take a listen.
