Gracias Amanda, for sharing your personal story (via your mother's experience). Can I ask, did she go out with him?

I'm from New York City and decided it was time to leave the U.S. and return to this beautiful ancestral motherland [of mine]. And while I have zero regrets about my decision, I will say racism, colorism, classism are just a few of the 'isms Borikén needs to address for a more equitable sociedad.

Sending warmth from nuestra joya, Loíza.
