New interviews coming this Friday! Two amazing Afro Latina writers. Stay tuned.

The Afro Latino Festival was Sasha and I’s first reunion in FOREVER! I’m so happy with how far we’ve come with the La Otra Cara Latina. We still have much to do, many goals to accomplish with LOCL but the fact that we’re still consistently working on this series/blog despite all the chaos we juggle in our lives, fills my heart. 

Thank you to everyone who still keeps up but also to our new followers. We have a lot of sazón in store for y'all.

They have 7 Days to go for their campaign - Afro-Latino Festival of NYC 2017 is fundraising to support their fifth edition. Priscilla and I will both be attending on Saturday, July 8th and we would love see y’all there too!

Their Kickstarter message:

To commemorate our 5th year we celebrate the contributions of women throughout the diaspora. This summer cultural event continues to attract a wide array of artists, both local and international, as well as entrepreneurs, academics, and community leaders. With conferences, culinary presentations, and artistic showcases, the Festival highlights the work, values, and issues important to the Afro-Latino community.

When buying your tickets you can expect a weekend full of fun, you will jump and dance to the rhythms of soca, merengue, salsa, reggae and Baile Funk under a giant and colorful tent in the Heart of BedStuy, Brooklyn.

You'll be served crafty Afro-Latin cocktails and delicious food. You will be surrounded by vendors in the African/Latino arts & crafts market in our outdoor space. You will make friends and community connections. This event promises to show you so much more about the music, flavors, and people of African-descent from Latin America...Afro-Latinos.

You can also attend the AfrolatinTalks Conference and Liberación Film Festival. These events will connect you with the realities and possible solutions to the issues that affect, unite and divide our communities.

The weekend pass includes:

Day 1 AfrolatinTalks Conference & Liberación Film Festival Day 2  Concert Series & Outdoor Market
