A compelling, beautifully written book - insightful, heartwarming, funny, and deeply human. It stays with you long after the last page.

A Renegade's Journey to Stillness is a timely and moving debut that seamlessly blends memoir and personal growth. Marita traces her path from her Puerto Rican roots to the ever-evolving world of Silicon Valley and, ultimately, to the fast-moving rhythm of New York City's tech scene. This compelling and transformative narrative explores what it truly takes to heal and grow. Intimate and unflinchingly honest, it paints a vivid portrait of a young adult finding their place in a world bursting with noise.

Along the way, Marita confronts the layered realities of living at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, while navigating the complexities of family, identity, grief, true love, and an unshakable pursuit of self. Through raw reflection and sharp insight, Marita shares how genuine conversations and moral courage are essential for building trust, integrity, and connection in our lives, work, and communities, and how these shape who we are and what we believe.
