Americans in birth, education, life. Puerto Rican in history, soul and food preferences. Boricuas in one place, gringas in the other. Proud to identify with both cultures. We are two sisters - Yovany and Nancy - born in New Jersey to huge Puerto Rican families with strong ties to the island. We are here to share how our roots influenced our lives, in ways big and small, amazing and frustrating. Connect with us! We want to have fun, enlightening and real conversations around our cultures.
