I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a Puerto Rican artist from East Harlem. I am also a community activist and I support (and document) the cultural and political work of the stateside Puerto Rican community through various websites (www.virtualboricua.org and www.eastharlempreservation.org). So don't just post your events here, please be sure to send them to me by email as well as I can share them with visitors. Send .jpg or .pdf event announcements to [email protected]

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Like-minded progressive Puerto Ricans interested in teaching our history and culture to surfers riding the great Internet wave on mysapce and elsewhere.
