Thanks! Yes, this summer was a tough one with all the election questions… ugh! Don’t they know I was on vacay!

I spent 40 days in Europe this summer and have never answered so many political questions in my life. Folks are so curious and I blew folks away by telling them I was straight from the USA. It’s nice to blow stereotypes out of the water though. Keep it up!

I know that feeling! So frustrating when “I was born in NY” or “I live in DC” doesn’t cut it!! LOL

I’m Dominican-American, born in New York but raised in Santiago. You can only imagine the level of difficulty that is trying to explain my ethnicity/identity to folks. I often times just boil it down to a very blunt “New York” answer because sometimes it’s just easier and truth be told, it’s what I identify with most these days.

Cheers!
