A book cover for "WE WILL BE JAGUARS: A Memoir of My People" by Nemonte Nenquimo and Mitch Anderson. The cover features a close-up portrait photograph of what appears to be an indigenous woman looking upward with a contemplative expression. She wears traditional face paint in red, a headdress adorned with blue and yellow feathers, and large white circular ear ornaments. Her black hair frames her face, and the background shows soft green foliage. The lighting captures her features in sharp detail, highlighting her strong, dignified expression.

Listening to "We Will Be Jaguars" by Nemonte Nenquimo & Mitch Anderson. A memoir of Nemonte's life, from her indigenous childhood in the Amazon rainforest to her climate activism against Big Oil. Fascinating & infuriating — ooh, I hate Rachel so much!
