  • Description: My pursuit to embrace scholarship in the name of service and social justice is fueled by my racial and ethnic identity. Thus for me, the personal becomes political as a female scholar of color contending with racialized practices. Throughout my life, I have had to constantly negotiate my blackness and defend my Puerto Ricanness simultaneously. My own personal racialized and gendered experience as a darker skinned Puerto Rican woman, particularly in the Midwest, has led me to (re)define and (re)create my Afro-Puertorriqueña identity and has come to be a journey toward forging a new critical consciousness for me. Declaring blackness together with Latino origins contests the identity politics surrounding Latinidad.
