We are two Afro-Latin PhDs taking an anti-racist approach to center the contribution of Black people and culture across Latin America, the Caribbean and their diasporas through dance and music.
Our work aims to:
- educate consumers of Afro-Latin and Afro-Caribbean culture on its Black roots
- highlight the work of Black artists, dancers, and scholars across the Americas
- develop a practice of anti-racism in the Afro-Latin dance scene 🇵🇷 🇨🇴

Were You Listening? Track 4: Mi Negrita Me Espera
This track's song is "Mi negrita me espera" interpreted by Ismael "Maelo" Rivera. Normal details of life are made song through the lens of a black couple. The song highlights a simple but powerful fact: normalcy also belongs to black people.
