Affectionate yet blunt, this self-help send-up curates the witty tough love of generations of Latina ancestors

Tired of the same old sugarcoated self-help advice? Mamá Didn’t Raise a Pendeja serves up a bracing dose of truth straight from the mouths of Latin elders. With its wit, edge, and no-nonsense advice on everything from dating to careers, this compilation offers a tool kit of motivational mantras to tackle modern struggles—with plenty of humor and comedic smacks of perspective along the way.

Inspired by their own no-nonsense abuelitas, first-generation Latinas Carolina Acosta and Aralis Mejia share the tough love and bold wisdom passed down from generations of resilient women. Free of the saccharine platitudes common in modern affirmation books, this book bottles the loving reality checks only family can give. Quotes like “If you expect life to be easy, it’s gonna be longer than you want it to be” cut straight to the heart with perspective and humor.

Part self-help send-up, part loving lecture, Mamá Didn’t Raise a Pendeja is the little book of blessings and burns you'll want in your back pocket. It’s a practical reminder that even as we hustle ahead, some of the best life lessons come from looking back.
