On April, 25th — I attended the launch celebration for the official release of “I Am Boricua” 📖🇵🇷 I had the immense honor of presenting the author @nuyoricanbooks as a featured speaker — from one Nuyorican to another, con or orgullo y corazón 🫶🏽 @maydayspace 

“ I Am Boricua” is not merely a book for our young leaders or the next generation to learn about their roots. This is a a story of self-discovery that follows Flor, a young Puerto Rican growing up in Brooklyn, NY. Flor’s heartfelt exploration of Nuyorican identity celebrates the experiences of countless young Puerto Ricans who question their authenticity and language abilities. Join Flor as she embraces her heritage and finds a sense of belonging within the Puerto Rican diaspora. 

This story educates children on their Puerto Rican roots as they discover they are Boricua — while also resonating with the hearts of all Nuyorican who feel they are ni de aquí, ni de allá- We are Boricua! 🙏🏽
