Thank you, Brother Rizza. This is the point everyone needs to grasp: every serious push for reparations has been met with brutal resistance. That backlash alone proves how threatening real accountability isโand why the issue has been suppressed and deflected for generations.

Not hype. Just facts. #FAMU
Tonight I am here where Iโm supposed to be in my beautiful Island with my people celebrating and watching with awe how well Benito represented us and our culture
I am proud to be Puerto Rican, and I am proud to be an American citizen. Puerto Ricans are not โfake Americans.โ We are citizens who have contributed to this country in every field, from military service to sports, business, science, and the arts, and our identity and citizenship deserve respect.
I would not have the opportunities I have today without the support and belief that Most Valuable Promotions and Jake Paul showed in me, and I will always be grateful for the role they have played in helping change my life and in elevating womenโs boxing. At the same time, I want to be clear: I do not agree with statements that question the legitimacy or identity of Puerto Rican people, and I cannot support that characterization. It is wrong.
I fight with the pride of Puerto Rico and represent my flag every time I step into the ring. I will always stand with my people, with respect for who we are, and with pride in where we come from.
I will never change and will forever be a Proud Boricua.
