LA NENA

Last generation born on the island... in what's considered, "el corazon de Puerto Rico, Caguas, to Puerto Rican parents. La Nena's traditional Boriqua upbringing was what infatuated her taste for her culture. Writing poems since the age of 5, La Nena surrounded herself always with music, along with her passion for literacy as an outlet. Raised in The Bronx where the Nuyoricans roamed the streets with conga beats. Witnessing the start of the era of the Hip Hop form, engulfed her thirst to write meanings with sound & rhythms. Then her move to Brooklyn where her soul became molded to the hard knocks life, giving her passion for words that extra strife. Now, a wife, a mother...a woman. A woman very aware of where she comes from, where she's been and where she wants to be. La Nena still uses her passion for literacy and words, to not only vent. But to also enlighten, empower and hopefully...make a difference. Make a difference especially to her native isla querida....Borike.
