I respect being able to reflect on your cultural heritage and be proud of it, in spite of what mainstream American culture believes about it. Indeed, we can all take this as an example to take that type of pride in ourselves.
Thanks for sharing! “Hidden Colors is a series of documentary films directed by Tariq Nasheed and produced by King Flex Entertainment, to explain and describe the marginalizing of people of African descent in America and the world.” Wikipedia
I thank the DVD series Hidden colors for waking me up. I'm proud being proud Puerto Rican but love my Taino and African side. I'm proud Africans made alot of Puerto Ricans culture. Music and shaped our the way we eat and created 2 dances.
Hmm 🤔 tell me more about your confession?
