<pclass="body-text">Despierta Boricua reached its fundraising goal. And while the campaign numbers matter — we're not going to pretend they don't — what moved us most wasn't the total. It was the <em>who</em>. Alumni we hadn't heard from in years. Parents. Friends of friends who found us through a share, a post, a text from someone who said "you have to see what these students are doing." You showed up, and that means everything.</p>

<pclass="body-text">We were honored to participate in this year's celebration of Julia de Burgos' birthday. The space Orlando helped found was never intended solely for Puerto Ricans, but for the broader Latino community — committed to open dialogue, to challenging injustice, and to fostering safety alongside critical thought. It's only fitting that it carries the name of an Afro-Boricua poet.</p>

This will be followed by a curator-led walkthrough of the Taíno Exhibit and a facilitated group discussion with snacks, where students will ask questions, share perspectives, and engage collectively with themes of indigeneity and memory. We will conclude with a clay pottery studio session, highlighting ceramics as a shared Indigenous artistic tradition that reflects connection to the earth, community identity, and cultural continuity.
