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.
