NYTA Public Relations has signed author, educator and Latinx Parenting founder Leslie Priscilla for representation, coinciding with the release of her new book, CHANCLA: Healing Our Families, Ourselves, and Our Culture through Nonviolent Parenting.
Published by Little, Brown Spark, CHANCLA takes one of the most recognizable symbols within Latinx culture—“la chancla”—and moves the conversation beyond the jokes and memes to examine physical discipline, inherited generational patterns and the cultural, historical and systemic forces that have shaped parenting within Latinx and other BIPOC families.
Priscilla has spent more than 15 years working with Latinx and Chicanx families through coaching, workshops, advocacy and community support. She is the founder of Latinx Parenting, a bilingual organization and movement rooted in children’s rights, social and racial justice, nonviolence and reparenting, intergenerational and ancestral healing, cultural sustenance and the decolonization of oppressive practices within families.
Through its representation of Priscilla, NYTA Public Relations will oversee publicity and media strategy surrounding CHANCLA while expanding opportunities around her work as an author, educator and advocate.
The book has already earned significant advance praise, including a starred review from Publishers Weekly. Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed and We Can Do Hard Things, described CHANCLA as a “soul stirring, heart healing, world changing book.”
Additional advance praise has come from Dr. Resmaa Menakem, Jean Guerrero, Gustavo Arellano, Dr. Mariel Buqué, Reyna Grande, Dr. Jennifer Mullan, Ana Flores and others.
CHANCLA: Healing Our Families, Ourselves, and Our Culture through Nonviolent Parenting is out tomorrow, August 18, from Little, Brown Spark.
