The vision of GLS is to help young women unveil their inner power, lead by example, and in turn help shape a new generation of female leaders. From a boxing and self-esteem workshop led by 13-year-old, six-time boxing national champion Meryland Gonzalez, to a photography workshop led by 9-year-old award-winning photographer Nominee Guerrero, GLS workshops cover a wide range of disciplines such as music, culinary arts, entrepreneurship, sports, engineering, visual arts, and more. In March 2020, GLS shifted their workshops to a virtual platform as a response to COVID-19. That's when the Sheroes of Love Virtual Challenge was born: a series of Zoom workshops hosted by girls, for girls. These bilingual workshops in English and Spanish reached girls nationally and internationally. GLS, the Sheroes of Love Virtual Challenge, and all the girls involved in the organization were the inspiration for this book.

All She Is is a love story about all of what-couldn't-be. It is a reflective and intimate quest to healing the soul through a compilation of introspective bilingual poetry. Poemas en inglés y en español that will sail the reader into a voyage of heartbreak, grief, agony, self-worth, and the bitterness of loss. This book is for anyone who has struggled with the enduring pain of a broken heart and the burden of a million what-ifs.Cynthia J. Villa is a Mexican-American poet and writer from Wilmington, California. As a child, she lived in Michoacán, Mexico with her parents and two brothers. Upon her adverse return to el Norte and her struggles with the cultural clash, she eventually learned to exist in-between two languages. As a teenager, a yearning to alleviate the grief, heartache, and ambiguity caused by her mother's unpredictable death invited her to submerge in the mythical world of poetry. Eventually, her writings became a proclamation of self-healing. Her poetry now immerses in themes of Love, Loss, Heartache, Healing, and Self-Empowerment. She has exhibited her work under the pen name, cjLeubh, on social platforms, and her work was featured in Alegria Magazine's, The Latinx Poetry Project in 2020. As a self-published author, Cynthia hopes to invoke other Latinx artists, poets and writers to voice their stories.

If Love Had a Name is an outstanding collection of poems centered around real womanhood written by Colombian American poet, Davina Ferreira. ¿It is a lyrical whirlwind of self-love, independence, and the courage a woman needs to explore the world without a partner holding her hand and leading her through it. Ferreira has gathered up every ounce of womanly pride necessary to stand on her two strong feet and placed it here between these pages. A poetry book is a collection of poems, and a collection is defined as "an accumulation of objects gathered for study, comparison, or exhibition." I encourage you to study these poems, compare these poems to your own experience, and let them be a divine exhibition of what it means to honor women, and celebrate their independent power.
