So proud of how Benito showed out last night…
For those of you “upset” or “offended” ask yourself the following:
- What makes me more deserving of it having to be in English?
- Does he make me uncomfortable because he doesn’t fall into my narrative of how things “should be”?
- When was the last time I tried to understand or learn about a different culture, why does it bother me to do so?
Last night he gave us all a quick history lesson on Puerto Rico and it’s culture, maybe before taking the time criticize, I encourage you to expend that energy into researching the history and the origin of some of the messaging shared on that stage.
Many of you won’t, but that is your free will and I respect that.
Bottom line, if the way that I speak English professionally and elegantly doesn’t offend you, then it shouldn’t when I speak Spanish as well.
Respectfully, an American born in Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷
