I’m a first generation Dominican American Afro Latina.
I’m a first generation Dominican American Afro Latina.
I grew up in a rough section of the Bronx, during the 80s. I can’t believe that 40+ years have passed. We had Colorful Paper Food Stamps That Made It Feel Like Christmas Once A Month, Rats, Roaches, Tempo, Domestic Violence, Abandoned Buildings , Mass Killings From Either Turf Wars Or Car Accidents, Kids Falling Out Of Fifth Floor Windows, Drive By Shootings, Drug Dealers That Bought Ice Cream When Mr. Softee Came By For The Neighborhood Kids Or Gave Us Money For Good Report Cards, Open Fire Hydrants On Full Blast To Cool Off During The Summer, Mandatory School Meals Or You Didn’t Eat, Cassette Tapes , BCW and a Crack/Cocaine Pandemic in the Inner City Neighborhoods…Yet, The South Bronx was my Playground. There was NO: Internet, Cable TV, Cell Phones, Computers Or Flat Screen TVS. I had to fight often because I was bullied as a kid . Where you start doesn’t matter…making good decisions and putting in the work to improve your situation is key!
I graduated with top honors from Monroe College while raising 3 young kids, working full time and attending full time night and weekend classes. Through hard work and sacrifices, in 2009, I became a first time home owner and was fortunate enough to raise my kids in a secured Waterfront Community in the Bronx. I have a successful career in Real Estate spanning almost 3 decades. I‘m currently working at one of the most prestigious Management Companies in New York City. I am fluent in Ebonics, English and Spanish, and speak all 3 daily depending on who I am communicating with... I love all things Comic … Don’t ask me if I favor DC over Marvel…the answer is, I have no favorites. My fur babies are my favorite kids...TRUE STORY! Music helped me navigate through life. Because of my humble beginnings, I am book smart and street smart and able to relate to different people and have empathy. As a Black Afro Latina, I’ve Experienced Racism almost every day of my life and have developed a thick skin. When Trump Took Office All Of The Racists Got Bold Again Especially In The Business Environment. They were for a time being discreet during Obama’s Presidency…Nothing surprises me anymore!
I wish that I had someone to refer to, or someone that could relate to what I was experiencing …but I didn’t. When life started to feel unbearable, I sought out Mental Health Specialists and had to be medicated to help me cope. I want to share my life stories so that others can understand that they are not alone and YES sometimes, it is very hard to get through things. Life throws many curve balls and there is no shame in admitting that you need help or guidance. At the end of the day, understand that everything does happen for a reason and every experience is a lesson to prepare you for the next chapter. It’s important to deal with each obstacle or situation in a manner that will yield the best results. Think before you Act! I’m not sure of where Life is going to lead me but so far, this new chapter is pretty AWESOME! My new journey as a seasoned woman is pretty interesting & exciting! I never thought that I would find peace and love after so much hurt, pain and chaos. I have a very Colorful and Spicy Life , Thank God!
