About Borinquen Calling
From the publisher's feed
“Mamá Borinquen me llama, este país no es mio…”
A personal podcast series about connecting to our Puerto Rican roots from abroad through self-reflection, fact-finding, and storytelling.
We’ll take a look at the many important figures, places, events, and stories that have shaped and enriched the Puerto Rican culture and people. This is a celebration of our past and present, and a search for a hopeful future as we find our way back home…
As a way to honor the place that raised me, I will research and learn more about Puerto Rico and record my findings, share personal stories about my childhood, and hopefully feel closer to the place I still call home.
