A poem 3 years removed from it’s conception. A ‘Nuyorican’ comes in many different forms. Speaking to a snapshot of sacrifice- a conversation starting, beyond compliance perspective of a people who have given so much and made so much of the little they’ve been given. In totality however, eyes that see more for a people past the labels that exist. Putting an end to colorism, classism and linguistics is personal grueling work for an island to do, let alone a nation.

A snapshot of inner-conflict.

Generational implications.

Intersectionality within intersectionality.

Nuyorican pride and the perception of limitation.

No frills.

All love.
