About Me


¡Que Pasa Boricua! Get more at BorikuaSpace.comI am Caribeña, island grown. Spanish is my flesh, Ripples from my tongue, lodges in my hips: the language of garlic and mangoes, the singing of poetry, the flying gestures of my hands. I am of Latinoamerica, rooted in the history of my continent: I speak from that body.I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return. I am not taína. Taíno is in me, but there is no way back. I am not European. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there.I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish. I was born at the crossroads and I am whole.--Aurora Levins Morales--
