Lack of media

In the news you here multiple stories of events that happen around you. Of course they're important but why is it that it takes a documentary way in the back of a shelf to get information on my own people. It isn't just my people alone, Puertoricans to be exact, but Latinos and Latinas around the world. Being a fellow Latina, this effects me very much, yeah we hear things on Mexicans, but it's mostly on how they're immigrants or what not. Recently a certain person I know, whose name I will not be told, you know who you are, said that their is "to many of us." Heck yes there is! It's not always are food, our bamboo earrings, our fast talking, it's everything that comes with it. If I say that i'm a taino indian most people won't know what i'm talking about. fifty percent, half of puerto rico is poor, really? Women were used as guinea pigs for birth control and some even dieing, since when? If someone said they were a Taino Indian, most people won't know what the heck that is.Here are a few videos that explain
Yo soy boricua paque tu lo sepas! This video explains the things that people went through in Puerto Rico. It's not just a paradise and a vacation spot. Theres alot of history that alot of people don't hear about.
Q'orianka Kilcher in Peru. O'orianka is an actress hit the screen with her movie the new world, its an awesome movie! She was born in Germany but her descent is from Peru. This video shows the oil companies and the infected water that the native people have to live in. The diseases on the children are heart breaking.

Poverty in the Dominican Republic. In the Dominican Republic these kids have to live through it everyday and the poem in the back alone just explains everything.
