SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Editor\u2019s note: This story was published through a partnership<\/a> between KSAT and Live From the Southside<\/a>, a local and Latina-owned magazine<\/a> that works to improve & expand community relationships through promoting events, stories and businesses.<\/p>\n

Author and proud Mexican American Gabriela Ibarra Noriega has released her inspiring new book, “Girls Are Unstoppable: Bilingual Girls Coloring Book of Various Occupations<\/a>.” <\/p>\n

Raised between Monterrey, Nuevo Le\u00f3n and San Antonio\u2019s West Side, Noriega\u2019s upbringing shaped her deep appreciation for the strength and determination of the women in her life. Her latest project is a tribute to those women \u2014 and a message of empowerment for girls everywhere.<\/p>\n

Noriega lost her father to cancer at the age of nine. Without a male role model, she found guidance in the example set by her mother and grandmother, resilient problem-solvers who anchored their family through grit and perseverance. <\/p>\n

Noriega wasn\u2019t raised to believe in lofty dreams like becoming a dentist or race car driver, but now she\u2019s determined to make sure young girls know that those dreams \u2014 and more\u2014are absolutely within reach.<\/p>\n

“Girls Are Unstoppable<\/a>” is more than just a coloring book. It\u2019s a bilingual celebration of ambition, representation, and possibility. Each page introduces young readers to powerful career paths \u2014 from engineer to firefighter, artist to aircraft mechanic \u2014 reminding them that no dream is too big and no career is off-limits.<\/p>\n

This book serves as a love letter to girls from all backgrounds, particularly those from underrepresented communities. <\/p>\n

Noriega\u2019s message is clear: with courage, determination, and belief in oneself, every girl has the power to break barriers and make a lasting impact.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the release, the community is invited to a special book signing event on San Antonio\u2019s South Side at an award-winning venue:<\/p>\n
