Por Art Williams Mi latinidad es una de negridad, es de mi historia borrada por conquistadores, y sonidos de cañones de piratas.

Caution! Construction Zone. I am not a final product; I am evolving. I didn’t know I was Latina until I was forced to define myself to others. I was simply a living being, part of a family with a simple and happy life. It was exciting for me and common to see my mother sewing […]
