Hello Everybody!,
We are so happy with where we are going as a club but we also like to remember where we come from always. Yes, we are Dominicans from the Dominican Republic......but we are descendants of other racial groups combined. I don't know if you have ever heard about a guy named Christopher Columbus, but he set out a long time ago to find new lands and he found our little island. Some time later, African slaves were brought to the island and are a very big part of our past.
"To know where you are going, it is important to know where you come from"-and that was our goal with our Afro-Latino event. This event was to engage our audience in conversation about where we come from. Sometimes we do not acknowledge that our culture and selves are indeed influenced by our African roots.
