Comedian and author Aida Rodriguez is proof that the spirit of a determined woman is irrepressible. The divine feminine laughs in the face of patriarchal
oppression – a laughter that’s as healing as it is contagious when embodied by someone like Rodriguez, who has experienced the disadvantages of racial and gendered subjection first-hand.Legitimate Kid
Wanting to help others who have felt similarly, Rodriquez is hoping that her words provide relief. “I’m hoping that whoever reads the book who has felt illegitimate or invalidated, understands that they are special just because they’re here and no matter what label society tries to put on them, they’re gift is divine and I hope everyone walks away from reading my book feeling a little bit more whole and a little bit more healed,” she shares.
“Writing the book has helped me in so many ways,” affirms the author. “It has given me insight on the others in the room. I for so many years thought that I was a victim and at times I was, but it was the realization that I had the power to claim my life and make it better. That was very freeing. And being able to see the words, put the pain on the page and release it has been one of the most cathartic things I have ever done.
