About The Book Club:
Welcome to The Poder Circle Book Club—a quarterly, themed book club that aims to spark and facilitate important discussion around our shared experiences, our unique stories, and the issues that affect our comunidad. As Poderistas, we want to show the world that libros by Latinxs matter—that our words have Poder. As people, we come from a long tradition of storytellers whose words have sparked movements. We honor that tradition by uplifting Latinx voices, deepening our understanding of the Latinx experience, facilitating discussion, and inspiring action through words with impact.

The winter theme of The Poder Circle Book Club is:
The Power of Possibility
We honor the tradition to continue uplifting our Latinx voices and keep empowering current and upcoming generations with inspiring stories. As Poderistas, we want to remind each other that our words, hopes and dreams can never be too small or too big. We are oftentimes our own worst critics and self-doubters but knowing we have the power to change our way of thinking creates an infinite amount of possibilities. Let’s allow ourselves to live with intention and the confidence that we can achieve anything we set our minds to.
The Featured Winter Selection
My What If Year
by Alisha Fernandez Miranda
As we explore the power of possibility and owning the poder and lies within us, we can’t think of a better book to read together as we kick off the year than Alisha Fernandez Miranda’s new memoir, My What If Year.
