Abstract
"This little self-bound zine is a story that is a reflection experience I'm sharing about me growing up in my Central American family in the Bay Area, and trying to understand what it means to be "colocha" (curly-haired mujer). This briefly discusses Afro-Salvadoran presence and history and asking ourselves why do we still feel the need to practice colorism within the Central American diaspora? What does it mean to be beautiful in the U.S. while fitting in with society's standards of beauty?" - author, Breena Nunez Peralta
