  • SisterHood

    by Jessa Calderon

    Growing up in the hood has many challenges. Some people get lost in the westernized brainwash and conditioning, others in the pain and trauma endured for generations.

    In Jessa Calderon’s SisterHood, a group of young girls from the hood stand with each other and love each other through it all—they encourage one another to keep going. Together they cry, learn, heal, grow mentally and spiritually, and survive.
