I get asked about once a week “What are you?”. My immediate response is always “A human“. Which is questionable with how strange of a person I can be. I always know what they mean; I am a proud puertorican lady. I’m more Nuyorican than anything due to my Brooklyn up bringing and my fluency in Spanglish. My culture is an obvious part of my life when it comes to food, my love of salsa and how loud I speak when I’m hanging around my family. With all seriousness; knowing your culture is huge! My fellow Boricua’s and all other ethnicities looking to learn about different cultures; what better way to become more knowledgeable than this Puerto Rican Heritage Celebration at the Liberty Center in Elizabeth NJ tomorrow at 6 PM. Connection Productions and Danza Fiesta is offering live music, traditional Puerto Rican foods, art, story telling and a special performance by Danza Fiesta. This event sounds a lot more fun and interesting than those traditional history classes we sat through in school and it’s FREE! For more information call 908-249-5883.
