"My work looks to LDS Latinas/os, their agency, and their sense of spiritual and personal autonomy. I make use of intersectional theory to understand how the Latina/o community is raced, gendered, and classed simultaneously in their experiences with religion. I also interview the next generation of LDS Latino/a millennials and how they carry their faith forward or grow frustrated by the lack of adequate response to larger social justice issues like immigration, gender, and race politics. The following centers mujerista theology and Latina feminist theology as a means for understanding the complexity in all these narratives. First, a lesson in mujerista theology to ground how one can apply this concept to LDS Latinas. A mujerista lens will be applied to two LDS Latinas: Sister Garcia (from the archives) and Sister Veronica. Veronica is a pseudonym for one of the first LDS Latinas I met. During her interview she spoke of her testimony through the trauma of a dangerous border crossing. Finally, a critique of mujerista theology will introduce the distinct aspects of Latina feminist theology to provide a context for exploring LDS Latina/o millennials beyond mujerista framings."
