Just want to put my thoughts down hopefully it might help another displaced Puerto Rican. First generation born in the USA. Even being born here doesn’t make it easier, actually the opposite. In the 50’s and 60’s in New York City it was awful . People actually hated us, made no excuses for such hate. I spoke only Spanish and learning English was almost impossible for me . Being treated as if i had no right be in this country, there wasn’t any interest . I actually wore a dunce cap until the 5th grade. I was invisible to everyone. Including my family. I’m 100% Puerto Rican, my only fault was my skin and hair color. I’m the blonde in my family. Very pale , which has given me lots of grief. Always wanting the beautiful color of my race. The turmoil it caused was so strange. I had no right being white, so saying I wasn’t accepted in either world. This has caused so much confusion . Not feeling that I belonged . Not having roots anywhere. That’s what I believed. Hearing adults speaking about fear and always afraid .
This is my first blog , I will put my memories here , I might jump around a bit. Lots of stuff was happening, I’ll try to write things in order .

Kiki and his family legit saved the lives of Bienvenida & I in an unfortunate mountain travel choice. People are good & I'm feeling lucky & alive tonight. Don't look for shortcuts on Google maps. Just don't.

I almost forgot
It was Columbus Day. Diáspora winning.
All organizing should happen this way.
