I wanted to thank you for telling your family's story because this same story is that of so many of us and it's amazing to hear it shared on a platform when many times these topics get shoved under a rug 😒. It sounds like your family is from Oriente, when I heard you mention El Rio Cauto I remembered my abuela used to mention it to me too, como mi familia era de Oriente. Anyways, just wanted you to know we hear this message and are happy you told it. #afrolatinosunidos #Cuba #PatriaYVida 🇨🇺✊🏾

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I know it couldn't have been easy, but we're glad to see your growth. We all have areas with which we've struggled, but it's great to see how far we've come in our journey. We have to stick together. Where there's unity, there is strength. 🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎

I freaking LOVE you and everything that you stand for sweetheart.💪🏽❤️ THANK YOU for using your platform to speak on a very real issue in the Afro Latino community, because it needs to be known that there is a divide amongst “our own”. I live in a heavy populated Dominican + Puerto Rican community and I see the racist behaviors. They hate each other and they hate Black people. I happen to be mixed, so they hate me twice. Especially the women. Smh.😒 PERO We are all BLACK! And they need to be educated. So your voice is a start to open the dialogue because we ALL MUST COME TOGETHER AS ONE RACE OF PEOPLE! Can you imagine the power in our numbers if we did unite??✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼✊🏻✊🏽
