Lo que le paso a Hawaii

Desde la arena que pisamos hasta las olas que nos abrazan, nuestra Isla cuenta historias de resistencia y tradición. 🌊✨ Este Día de Reyes, mientras recogemos pasto para los camellos y compartimos con nuestras familias, recordemos que Puerto Rico es más que un paraíso turístico. Es nuestra tierra, nuestra cultura, nuestra identidad.

El desplazamiento y la gentrificación amenazan lo que nos hace únicos, pero juntos podemos defender lo que amamos. Porque Hawai’i no es el único lugar que sabe lo que es perderse...

Hoy celebramos, pero también reflexionamos. 🇵🇷💛

... Read moreThe celebration of Dia de Reyes is a cherished tradition across Latin America and the Caribbean, marked by cultural festivities and family gatherings. On this day, many families prepare a feast, share stories, and exchange gifts, reflecting the cultural richness and diversity of Puerto Rico. However, as we honor these traditions, it's essential to acknowledge the threats posed by gentrification and displacement to our communities. Protecting our land means preserving our heritage, identity, and the stories that make us unique. Throughout history, historic neighborhoods have faced changes that often dilute cultural significance, making it crucial for communities to come together in resistance. Moreover, Hawaii, much like Puerto Rico, has its own stories of resilience and loss. Both places experience the impact of tourism and development on their cultural identity. We must learn from these shared experiences and work collaboratively to uphold and celebrate our traditions while advocating for sustainable practices that respect our history. As you gather with your loved ones on Dia de Reyes, reflect on what makes Puerto Rico home. Whether through music, dance, or food, let's honor our legacy and envision a future where our culture thrives, untouched by the pressures of modernity. Embrace the spirit of unity and resistance, ensuring that our island continues to tell its stories for generations to come.
