Afrolatinos, una identidad multifacética (Article in Spanish, from Impacto)

Community-press reporting on what Afro-Latino identity feels like from the inside: growing up with salsa, bachata, and arroz con gandules, and then walking into rooms that read you as too Black for Latino spaces and too Latina for Black spaces. It is the both-and life our families know, told plainly.

The piece also lands on the forms problem: the absence of any box that lets Afro-Latinidad be recorded at all. Recognition on paper is not the whole of belonging, but its absence is felt everywhere paper matters.

Local Spanish-language press is exactly the kind of voice ME/RG wants to amplify. The national data pieces tell you how many; this one tells you what it is like.
