In honor of African Heritage Month, I would like to share with you one of the most famous and one of my most favorite Cuban singers of all time - Celia Cruz.
Celia Cruz has created one of the most impressive careers in all of music with her voice, charisma and talent. She has produced more than 70 albums and won countless awards.
She makes me feel proud of my heritage. I hope that you enjoy listening to her music.
Fernanda Ponce - What Being Hispanic and Latino Means in the United States
Fernanda provides a first person account of identity--addressing stereotypes and assumptions, and inviting the audience to dig deeper into the Latinx experience in the United States. Fernanda addresses the role of Latinx people in shaping the culture, politics, and economy of the USA.
Fernanda was born and raised in Chicago, IL by Mexican immigrant parents, and grew up constantly surrounded by the large and diverse Hispanic and Latino community. Fernanda proudly identifies as a part of this community as a Latina, Hispanic, and Mexican American.
