I am from hay filled fields where the scent of cow manure and crack filled the air. I am from a three bedroom kerosene heated country house. Where the sun shine bright And the faces smiled brighter despite anything. I am from Bernett Liriano’s womb Who was given life through Ida Mae’s heart. A place where six other souls were given existence. I am from Gustavo Liriano's heart a heart of a soldier. Where timidness isn’t tolerated And bravery is expected. I am from a strong African Heritage And even stronger Dominican Heritage. Where the two collide to create a phenomenal woman. I am from the food that gives life to your soul. Macaroni and cheese, collard greens, Mondogo, and Tostones Is the blessing left by my ancestors.

I am from hay filled fields
where the scent of cow manure and crack
filled the air.
I am from a three bedroom kerosene heated country house.
Where the sun shine bright
And the faces smiled brighter despite anything.
I am from Bernett Liriano’s womb
Who was given life through Ida Mae’s heart.
A place where six other souls were given existence.
I am from Gustavo Liriano's heart
a heart of a soldier.
Where timidness isn’t tolerated
And bravery is expected.
I am from a strong African Heritage
And even stronger Dominican Heritage.
Where the two collide to create a phenomenal woman.
I am from the food that gives life to your soul.
Macaroni and cheese, collard greens, Mondogo, and Tostones
Is the blessing left by my ancestors.
