Latino Quote Of The Day™ by Nancy Morejón

English: This image of Cuban poet Nancy Morejon was cropped from a snapshot taken by my family using a Nikon D70 at the office of Vigia in Matanzas, Cuba, on 5 July 2004. This image was cropped using Microsoft Photo Editor, but was otherwise not manipulated in any way. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

“I am not more of a black person than a woman; I am not more of a woman than a Cuban; I am not more of a black person than a Cuban. I am a brief combustion of those factors.”

– Nancy Morejón, Afro-Cuban poet.
