last night, during the halftime show, I was physically surrounded by multiple feet of snow, below freezing temperatures, and the warm embrace of my beloveds.

my heart was here though, con mis campesinos, chewing on sugar cane until the fibers dried out, hugging my father, kissing my mother’s feet, holding my grandmother’s hands.

last night was medicine, fuel for the fight ahead, reminders from the past, dispatches from the future we’re fighting for.

orgullosa, primero de ser negra y siempre de ser caribeña. #puertoricolibre #caribelibre
