Wanted to share this with you…I’m an immigrant from Veracruz, Mexico that moved to the U.S. fifteen years ago. I had nothing but a bag of clothes and dreams of ‘making it big’. My first home was New York City where I even got lost in the Subway a few times… LOL.
it is NOT about canceling Lin Manuel…U say U r #latinx & advocate for us 2 b represented, yet, U r acting like the #telenovelas dismissing the #afrolatinx presence… 👏🏽If you are not listening👏🏽that 👏🏽is 👏🏽ok! 👏🏽MANY 👏🏽of us are! 👏🏽 @nytimes article link on my BIO. Vaya y lea🤓
Im from #veracruz where I experienced #colorism at its fullest. Veracruz, port in #Mexico where Spanish brought in #black slaves, negation of our own #blackness is still prevalent, even in our families. So Very surprised to see how other #latinx peers who “support” #Diversity
#inclusion r not even open 2 listen 2 our #afrolatinos & understand their perspective. Many of them did NOT feel represented by #intheheights … @lin_manuelmiranda apologized & even @theritamoreno back tracked herself on her first opinion. NOT about the quality of the film…
