Today is my father’s birthday. He would have turned 72. A proud New Yorker and an even prouder Puerto Rican, this day would have meant everything to him. His birthday, the National Puerto Rican Day Parade, and the New York Knick’s winning the championship, all in one. 🗽🇵🇷🏀🏆
My father taught me pride, pride in where we come from, in our people, and in carrying our culture forward. Even though he’s no longer here, I honor him through this work, through memory, and through every space I create for our stories to live on.
Today, I celebrate him. Happy birthday, Daddy. ♥️🌺
Xoxo.
