A M'ija to Meet: Milagros, Puerto Rican

milly-dunaway-2.jpg

What I love about being Latina:  I’m proud to be part of a people who are so fiercely dedicated and loving. I love my roots and my history.

What I love about being Americana: I love the freedom it provides.

My biggest challenge in growing up Latina in America: I didn’t realize I had challenges till I was older and noticed how differently my family was treated because they were from “an island.”
My biggest support in growing up Latina in America:  My aunts who always taught me to be proud of my heritage while embracing my new country.

Why I am beautiful: Because I accept who I am the same way I accept the difference in others.
