Yo Soy Boricua 🇵🇷 Today is the #puertoricandayparade in New York! I recently had a amazing trip to Puerto Rico. I learned so much about my culture and where i come from. Growing up with a Italian mom and not knowing my Puerto Rican father, i had to learn about my #latina culture through friends and experiences and i continue to learn about the history of our people. This past trip decently helped me get closer to my roots!! I hope everyone is having a amazing time at the parade or celebrating the way we know how. . . Do you know why Puerto Ricans identify themselves as Boricua? Long before the Spanish Crown colonised the island of Puerto Rico the island belonged to thee Taino Indians. They named the island Borikén, Boriquén o Borinquen. Borikén is a taino word that translates to - Land of the courageous (or proud) Lord. . . #boricuasbelike #puertorico #puertoricansbelike #puertorico #goldenconfidence #sanjuan #celebratemycurves #plussizeswimwear #plussizeswimsuit #curvystyle #curvygi...
