## Caption

Someone tell badbunnypr that I met his friend María Antonia “Toñita” Cay! She's the founder of a Caribbean Social Club. Originally a members-only club for the local baseball team, it is now a community hub where Diasporicans can find a little piece of home in Brooklyn.

I get it. That's why I started Cafe Resistance. Cultural pride becomes resistance when a community is under attack, like with gentrification. The spaces we create don't have to be fancy; they just have to be ours. ¡Gracias, tonitasny! 

¡Ya entiendo por qué Benito quiere tanto a Toñita! La diáspora puertorriqueña, como muchas otras, busca mantener vivo el calorcito de su cultura. Lo vi cuando fui a la Lechonera en Orlando y cuando fui a Tainos en Kissimmee; los Floricuas traen el amor de su tierra y el rescate de su cultura dondequiera que aterrizen.
