“Your greenest eyes all emerald glow And in your garden orchids grow.” | RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A leader, legend, and icon for not only the women’s movement, but equality for all. Your legacy lives on. It gives us hope in these dark times. We will never forget you even if we wanted to. | The shirt I am wearing “Queen Me” was designed by the most amazing artist and feminist @beatzneats It is souls like him that help humanity evolve ethically, spiritually, emotionally, and more.

Hi everyone! Here is a small sample of a photoshoot I did a few weeks ago to honor my Taino ancestors. Tainos were an indigenous people of the Caribbean including inhabitants of most of Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, The Bahamas, and the Greater Antilles. I am very passionate about seeing diversity in Hollywood, and, as a filmmaker, my awareness of my ethnic roots is an influential part of my voice. While this half-Cuban, half-Puerto Rican director typically resides behind the camera, I believe that by putting my face in front of the lens, these images could be an instrument for me to give my people the representation in which they are so sorely absent from in our pop culture. Watch out Hollywood, I do not take lack of representation lightly. PC: @crs.cinema https://www.instagram.com/p/CCpJCkphmSA/?igshid=1x8at1522ao0s

Se que mis rimas aveces causan disgustos Cuando mis neuronas corren Hasta yo mismo me asusto Mis respuestas pueden ser tan agresivas Que hasta las letras me huyen Porque tienen miedo de que las escriba No tengo rifles pa matarte Solo basta con la pista Convierto letras en ideas como un ilucionista En una linea te mato te fracturo Te lesiono y en en la siguiente te resucito Cuando te menciono Eso es parte de mi arte Que todo el mundo sepa Que estas rimas son pa ti sin tener que mencionarte Y no lo hago para evitar el rose Lo hago para no hacerte famoso En los paises donde nadie te conoce Despues de ver como se mueven Las guerras y las guerrillas Tu crees que le voy a tener miedo a tu pandilla? Dispara cuando quieras raperito maleantoso Aqui no…
