I learned very early on in life that I was Dominicana. The vivid memories of my mom chasing after me with a chancleta (rubber slippers) or a palo (broom stick), the daily routine of eating Los Tres Golpes (mangu, salami and fried cheese) for breakfast, lunch and…

Keeping updated with new television shows, movies, reading, and podcasts has been an obsession for me in the past few years, thanks to the recent popularity and accessibility of online streaming and binge-watching. However, as the number of avenues of modern entertainment continue to increase, so do problems with organizing and budgeting time for each.
