I was born in Nagua, Dominican Republic, I hold vague memories of the sea and clearer ones of a small town rooted in community. At two, my family moved to Miami, where the Caribbean was always close in the food, the music, and the people around me. Now I live in Brooklyn, layered and restless, yet still full of familiar rhythms, voices, and storefronts that remind me of home. Each place has shaped the way I see and the things I notice, carrying my first home into every new one.
