Included in a Reflections section are glimpses into the creation of each poem and art piece, demonstrating the unique collaboration between Lisa and Christina. Latina Warrior demonstrates the power of using artistic expression to move beyond pain to heal deeply buried wounds and conveys the importance of capturing the simple joys of living one's life to its fullest.
