I was conceived by a dysfunctional couple in 1975.
I was born in 1976, had an accident that put me in a wheelchair in 1993, and I became madly in love with James in 2004.
I was born in a poor island in the Caribbean.
Yet, I was born within way too much privilege.
I graduated from high school, college and grad-school.
I, indeed, have been privileged.
I however, like my paisanos, received a distorted colonized education.
Paulo Freire calls it the Pedagogy of the Oppressed.
So I wasn’t that privileged.
I have devoted my life to understanding and struggling against the mind of the colonized.
I am a social psychologist, an activist and I am also obsessed with breaking the deeply rooted fear, especially within poor communities (majority) in Puerto Rico, of political and economic sovereignty.
Viva Puerto Rico Libre de opression politica, social, economica, educativa, mental!
