My dad is from Cuba 🇨🇺 and my mom is from El Salvador 🇸🇻, the color of my skin is white I've had people tell me that I don't look hispanic. But I am Latina and I'm proud of it.

Hispanic heritage is just as important as learning American heritage, people don't know is you are American than chances you have Latino heritage, you have no idea of American history has Latino roots running through your blood, this is something that has been hurried in history just African American history, I'm not going to stop I'm going to dig deep and I'm going to find out the truth, I know I'm my heart of hearts there is something there, we all are going to learn more about what makes us Americans, and i know it has a lot to do with a history of refinement and diversity, a rich history that may can change a nation to think more positive and more family oriented, I love my people but I love how rich and diverse we really are, we can stand to learn a lot from our Latino community, a Beautiful Beautiful community that is so precious that we have to protect and cherish., I am black but I love that you are hear, and I will fight for you just as hard as I will fight for my own, you are my own .

Most of these stories are just hispanic inspired not much are made by hispanics. Still awesome!

[joemama]

Every one has a different story, culture and skins

[djlyons]

Same girl I'm pretty dark for a Puerto Rican because I'm black and Puerto Rican (my dads dad is black and my dads mom is Puerto Rican) I don't speak Spanish so people don't believe me when I say what I'm Puerto Rican and Black
