Yesterday was the day that we commemorate as Puerto Rico’s Discovery by Spain. But, Puerto Rico was already there, the Tainos were already living in Borinquen. Puerto Rico had already been discovered. So, more than a discovery this was a meeting between different races, that including the africans and the americans years later made what is known today as a Puerto Rican.
What is your view on “El Descubrimiento de Puerto Rico”?
Every now and then we have a #FollowRicans day on Twitter. What we do is that we tweet something like: “Weeepa! Donde estan los Boricuas? Digan Weeepa!” and everyone that responds with a ‘Wepa’ gets on our #FollowRicans list!
It’s usually a lot of fun and it works to connect people with other Puerto Ricans that they can follow.
What is ‘Wepa’? It’s a term to be used as a salutation, like saying “Hey!” or as a way of celebrating.
Stay tuned for more FollowRicans coming soon!
