The Puerto Rican diaspora of the 1940’s was a direct result of the lack of work on the islands 🌴. I mean think about it, why would anyone leave Paradise to go to London, NYC or Madrid! I am Dominican born but I don’t know what about it. I am a historian but I don’t know my own home land and now because of the virus I may never get the chance as I hit 62 in ♒️ in 2021!🙏🐕🌴

Bookwise I know Dominican rep better than most, it’s been 22 years since last I visited the island home of my youthful first 9 years on Earth 🌍
