AOC The Fearless Rise and Powerful Resonance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Marisa Blake's deliberate pace and confident tone create an uplifting performance in this audiobook, prefaced by Cary Hite. The work features contributions by mostly Latinx writers who are inspired by Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. AOC's Puerto Rican descent, working-class background, and social media savvy make her a relatable figure for many who have felt unseen and underrepresented. This audiobook contextualizes AOC's enduring impact with biographical information and examines the wave of support she receives from admirers--people who welcome her differences from traditional politicians and respect her fortitude in the face of hostility from conservative opponents. Blake's delivery emphasizes each contributor's writing style while offering insights on Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez and high hopes for America's future.
