A través de sus páginas\, la autora ofrece una mirada honesta y valiente sobre las experiencias que moldearon su carácter y su visión del mundo: la familia\, la negritud\, el machismo\, la rebeldía\, la identidad y la música como refugio\, afirmación y destino. \nEsta presentación será una oportunidad especial para escuchar a la autora en primera persona\, celebrar su trayectoria y dialogar en torno a una vida marcada por la perseverancia\, la conciencia y el compromiso con su verdad. \nLes invitamos a acompañarnos en esta velada literaria y cultural en comunidad. \n📍 Loisaida Center📅 Jueves\, 2 de abril🕕 6:00 PM \nJoin us this Thursday\, April 2 at 6:00 PM at Loisaida Center for a special book reading and signing with acclaimed Puerto Rican singer-songwriter\, actress\, and salsera Choco Orta\, celebrating her autobiographical novel\, If You Understood Me (Si me comprendieras). \nIn this intimate and powerful work\, Choco Orta reflects on her life journey\, from her childhood in Santurce to her path as an artist\, sharing stories shaped by family\, race\, gender\, courage\, and music as a force of transformation. Her voice and testimony offer a deeply moving portrait of a Puerto Rican\, Black\, and unapologetically authentic life in the arts. \nWe invite you to join us for this special evening of literature\, memory\, conversation\, and community as we celebrate the life and legacy of one of Puerto Rico’s remarkable cultural voices. \n📍 Loisaida Center📅 Thursday\, April 2🕕 6:00 PM \n#ChocoOrta #SiMeComprendieras #LoisaidaCenter #Loisaida #PuertoRicanCulture #PuertoRicanLiterature #AfroLatinidad #Salsa #BookReading #BookSigning #LatinxAuthors #Nuyorican #LESArts #BoricuaCulture
