What happens when you stop waiting for permission to tell your story?

Dominican author and graphic designer Anny Caba joins Luz Maria Mack to talk about self-publishing, preserving Dominican culture through Spanglish, and building a creative career on her own terms.

Anny shares the inspiration behind Mamey: A Spanglish Novel and Alone Abroad: A Memoir, along with her experience selling books through TikTok Shop. The conversation explores solo travel, reconnecting with your roots, and the loneliness that beautiful social media posts can hide.

Together, Luz and Anny reflect on honoring their abuelas, navigating grief while promoting their work, and knowing when to step away. They also discuss creative freedom, the importance of editing, and choosing a publishing path that supports your goals.
