In this special episode, I chat with Candice Pedraza Yamnitz—author, speaker, dual language educator, and homeschool mama. Raised in a home blending Puerto Rican, Mexican, and American cultures, Candice brings a unique “Latin twist” to her writing and teaching.
We talk about:
- Growing up bilingual and bicultural
- The books that shaped her childhood
- Her journey into dual language education
- What a dual language classroom really looks like
- How she became a young adult author
- The inspiration behind Unbetrothed and Ruthless
- Her process for weaving culture into fiction
- Encouragement for parents raising bilingual children
Candice’s story is full of imagination, cultural pride, and heart.
