One thing we’ve noticed more and more is that people who aren’t Puerto Rican keep trying to tell our story — our culture, our history, our future.

But here’s the truth:

No one can tell our story better than we can. Not journalists from the outside. Not influencers chasing likes. Not scholars who’ve never lived our struggle.

It’s time for us to take the bull by the horns. To speak for ourselves. To reclaim our narrative.

That’s why we’ve launched our podcast — “Puerto Rico Abran los Ojos” — a space created by Puerto Ricans, for Puerto Ricans. A space where our voices, our truths, and our dreams lead the conversation.
