As a proud AfroLatina and daughter of Puerto Rico — a place that, like Bad Bunny showed the world, holds more beauty, resilience, and love than words can contain — I am deeply moved to be named to this year's TIME100 list. This recognition belongs to every activist, colleague, and immigrant family fighting for justice and dignity — especially during a moment as challenging as this one. Not because it's easy. But because the alternative is simply unacceptable. If you are not yet part of this fight, I urge you to join us. Show the world what people power truly looks like. Let's get to work. ¡Pa'lante!
