Did you know? November is Puerto Rican Heritage Month! 🇵🇷

This Halloween, I embodied Miss Liberty herself and my boyfriend  as badbunnypr together representing Nueva Yol as a proud Nuyorican🗽🇵🇷 

This look came together with ease, entirely from what I already owned, transforming my first-place trophy from the Bronx Puerto Rican Cultural Pageant into Lady Liberty’s torch. 2025 has been the year of Bad Bunny amplifying Puerto Rican cultura and also the year of my reign, wearing my crown to honor my own homecoming to self. 👑✨

Inspired by the “NUEVA YOL” video, where the Statue of Liberty wears the Puerto Rican flag across her forehead, this imagery runs deep. That scene pays homage to the 2000 protest by Puerto Rican activist Tito Kayak, who famously climbed the Statue of Liberty to hang the Puerto Rican flag, a symbol of resistance, identity, and pride for the diaspora.

That moment reminds us of how our liberty has layers. For Puerto Ricans, it’s about migration, survival, and reclaiming space in a system that has often erased us. It says: We belong. We built this. We are part of this story.

Even my puppy Cafecita joined in on her first Halloween 🐶☕ dressed as café, a Latin signature of our cultura that connects us back to abuelita’s kitchen mornings, the smell of home, and the warmth that raised us.

This was and is celebración completa of heritage, healing, and hope. A love letter to my ancestors, to NYC, and to every resilient Latino in this city turning struggle into strength and triumph.
