 What are you? "I'm Afro-Latina, and that comes with a lot of baggage and a lot of pride. I know that some of my ancestors bought others or were sold, or their land was stolen. Then together they all built continents with blood, sweat, and tears. And so, I have a painful and beautiful legacy to continue." Read the full blog post here. |
¿Que eres?
"Soy Afro-Latina y eso viene con un montón de equipaje y mucho orgullo. Sé que algunos de mis antepasados ??compraron a otros, o los vendieron, o sus tierras fueron robadas. Luego, todos juntos, construimos este continente con sangre, sudor y lágrimas. Tengo un legado doloroso y hermoso a seguir." Lea el artículo del blog aqui.
