My beautiful Puerto Rico is NOT a floating island of garbage! Puerto Rico “La isla del cordero” belongs to Jesus! I stand proud as a Puerto Rican, and I refuse to let anyone tarnish the beauty of our island. For 16 incredible years, I immersed myself in everything that makes PR special—its breathtaking nature, mouthwatering food, vibrant culture, and the warmth of its people. So, you can imagine how deeply offended I felt by the careless words of that comedian. It’s time for him to step up and apologize.
As a Latina who thrived in Puerto Rico as a blogger and influencer, I’ve dedicated my platform, Lovely Chicas, to showcasing our tourism, culture, fashion, gastronomy, and the undeniable beauty of our island. I can’t stay silent about this—it hits too close to home.
For all my fellow Puerto Ricans, I know those words sting. We’ve weathered so much together, from the devastation of Hurricane Maria to the ongoing battles against corruption in our government. But through it all, we’ve shown our strength and resilience time and time again.
This election season has been a rollercoaster of emotions. I’ve been keeping it in my prayers because the choices we face are tough. Amid all the chaos and controversy, there’s one candidate who truly represents my values. I urge everyone to take a moment, reflect and make a wise choice on Election Day, guided by faith. Mi isla preciosa te amo! #puertorico
