Adriana Monsalve
Clear as black
I am black. you may not know it when you look at me, but it is as much a part of me as the latin roots that are the face of my origin. I am Latina. You May not know this either, because to see me is to see white. I speak with an American accent and my skin is not dark enough to be labeled black or Latina. I am white, but only in appearance. I am labeled by the superficial layer that covers my bones and blood. Puerto Rico is an island made up of a vast hybridity of people including: African, Arab, Native Indian, and European. It also happens to be the capital of the world for Albinism. There are multiple layers that make up how alibinism manifests physically, insde and out. Albinism is not just white on this island, it's black too.
