Quotes
"When I go to the D.R., the press in Santo Domingo always asks, '¿Qué te consideras, dominicana o americana?' (What do you consider yourself, Dominican or American?) I don't understand it, and it's the same people asking the same question. So I say, time and time again, 'Yo soy una mujer negra.' ('I am a black woman.') [They go,] 'Oh, no, tú eres trigueñita.' ('Oh no, you are dark skinned') I'm like, 'No! Let's get it straight, yo soy una mujer negra.' ('I am a black woman.')"
