Meet Ryan, one of the AfroLatino Travel team members based in Rincon, Puerto Rico. A Mayaguez native
Meet Ryan, one of the AfroLatino Travel team members based in Rincon, Puerto Rico. A Mayaguez native, Ryan has always felt like the ‘Black Sheep” of the family and that experience was central in his identity as an Afrodescendant. He has whipped up some incredible Afro trips for 2016 in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.“My interests revolve around Afrodescendant communities in the Americas with a particular focus on Caribbean migrations and the interface between the environment and coastal populations. The work I am involved in is a direct result of my own family history and the multiple sites of departure and arrival across the Caribbean that is our story. As a Caribbean Black man born and raised in Puerto Rico, with roots in Cuba, Dominican Republic, Nevis, South Carolina and Philadelphia and family networks across the Americas I delve into this work to continue to empower the communities I belong to.” Follow himCheck out his work with INSTITUTE FOR SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH -- source link
