Thank yo for acknowledging Hispanic Heritage Month: Indeed, celebrating the gifts of our culture makes us very proud of our contributions. As you might know, the US Census tells us that we have grown from 13% in 2000 to nearly 18% in 2010. Therefore, we make up 1.5 million Hispanics and making us the largest minority in New Jersey. As Americans, lets continue to celebrate our cultural diversity.
Lets have this momentum in history to be proud and really embrace our heritage and do not be afraid to share our values and talents to the anglo community.

As a Puertoriquena, Latina woman and mother of two beautiful Puerto Rican children, I have always been proud of who I am. My advocay has always been for our people and the struggles to identify ourselves as Puerto Ricans, Latinos, Hispanics and Hispanic Americans, as well as individuals who represent our various wonderful ethnic backgrounds that make us who we are today,
Celebrate who you are today, tomorrow and everyday. Lets not forget how we got here, why and where we need to be and that our children never forget!!!
