Señora Style: How to Dress Like a Cool Tía in Her 30s

In our book, Radical Señora Era, we talk about the importance of comadres in a woman’s life, and the special role they play in the family. They’re a source of support, they show up with remedios, or to help babysit – at the drop of a hat. You’ll read about how they’re important to the health and wellness of yourself and the entire family.

A tia is a very special type of comadre, because she’s tied to us by blood. Modern day tias are a special blend of comadres and cool aunts. They’re hip, stylish, and somehow always know all the TikTok memes. They can also give you all the wisdom they’ve picked up in their life – from tips about that situationship in your life, to balancing your career with your personal life.
