Just finished #SomethingFierce.

It exceeded my already high expectations. It could be the best thing i read all year, idk. Sad and inspiring and well written. So grateful she was able to write it down to share.

It's about the underground resistance after #Allende during Pinochet and others in #Chile.

"And my grateful thanks to all those who came before those who are fighting now and those who will continue to fight for a better future for all. I am awed, inspired and humbled..."

I started it yesterday night, but i was so tired i couldn't keep my eyes open. Today's the day:) I will read with my eyes open🎉
