"At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how old we are, we still all have that little child inside of us." Silvia Vasquez-Lavado, global explorer, activist, and founder of the non-profit Courageous Girls, joins Zibby to talk about her debut memoir, In the Shadow of the Mountain, which was recently optioned for film by Selena Gomez. The two discuss how Silvia got to a place where she could be so open about her experience with childhood sexual violence, as well as why she wants to break the stigma for others who have endured similar traumas. Silvia also shares what she plans to do on tour in her home country of Peru once the book is translated into Spanish.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3nFoIXHBookshop: https://bit.ly/3RaFMCmSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
