Querida Pequeña Isabel, Crecer en el ambiente en el que creciste no fue fácil. Perteneciste a dos mundos diferentes desde el momento en el que naciste. Encontrar tu identidad no ha sido fácil, más aún cuando una parte de esa identidad te rechaza. Tienes una madre de República Dominicana y un padre que es de… Continue reading Isa’s Love Letter
