Thinking of the day Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico
The images are vivid.
Today, marks a year that Puerto Rico went under dark — no electricity, food or communication. Puerto Rico became a graveyard and a political nightmare. Over 3,000 Americans died.
I remember this day clearly, fear entered in my heart not knowing the wellbeing of my family and friends.
A year after, the people of Puerto Rico are trying to make sense how come the federal government continues to neglect them and ignore their cry for help – kids and the sick are going without food and proper care. The trauma and financial hardship is real.
This is genocide.
Drumpf and his administration do not care.
This is what happens when an Island is colonized for years and exploited for its natural resources.
The People of Puerto Rico are strong and resilient.
We rise.

TWO UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS
‘My Country, ‘Tis of Thee’
~(YOU MAKE ME FEEL) LIKE A NATURAL WOMAN~
I’m speechless again.
The honor of President Obama’s inauguration
Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime achievement
Can you imagine being Carole King?
Take a look!

Aretha Franklin sang “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” during a tribute to Carole King in 2015
“Carole was losing her mind, Obama was losing his mind,” said the Broadway actress Chilina Kennedy.
In her final decade, Aretha Franklin’s two best-loved performances both took place in Washington.
In 2009, she graced Barack Obama’s inauguration with a gorgeous “My Country, ’Tis of Thee” while wearing a hat so remarkable it ended up on display in the Smithsonian. And on Dec. 6, 2015, she sang an unforgettable rendition of her own anthem of rebirth, “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” in tribute to the song’s co-writer, Carole King, who was receiving the Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime achievement alongside Rita Moreno, Cicely Tyson and other luminaries.

In memory of Aretha Franklin’s passing, here’s a look back at the “Queen of Soul” performing at President Barack Obama’s first inauguration ceremony on January 20, 2009. She sang “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” in front of thousands at the National Mall in Washington D.C.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE
Puerto Rico is a colony of the mighty, imperialistic US of A.
The USA invaded the Island in 1898. It took over from the free authority of the people to impose their values and orders.
(Sounds familiar?)
In the process it used, abuse, stole, imposed views, subjugated individuals, incarcerated many and much more on the people of Puerto Rico.
The response generated after Hurricane María battered the Island shows the ‘heart‘ of the American governance.
It’s time for Puerto Rico to be on its own feet. It can’t be done overnight. It has to be a gradual process.
No one will come to save the Island.
The people will have to rise!
