Room 28’s derived from “La Casa 28”,which in the Dominican Republic,folklore says, is where the “crazies” are sent. A big reason why we started Room 28 was to write roles for Latinos […]
Latina de alma. I am Salvadorian. I was born in El Salvador and lived 19 years of my life in this special place I call home. Since I was young, I embraced who I truly was and identified as Latina. My love for music and dancing grew tremendously as I understood my culture. My roots […]
Proudly, I can say I’m Colombian. My mother and father are also from Colombia. Growing up I spent most of my childhood in Spain and the rest in Canada. My Latino roots have always been very important to me because it represents who I am as a person. I have a strong passion for Latin […]
My father is Jamaican born and my mother is a first-generation Canadian. My mix is Ecuadorian, Jamaican, Trinidadian, Chinese, Colombian. I am a Canadian. Although I do not speak, write, or read in Spanish, I feel very Latino (seeing how I was raised by my mother). Thanks to her I have been able to connect […]
I understand Spanish but I don’t speak it that well. Both my grandparents speak to me in Spanish because they tell me it’s important to learn and I agree too. I eat Ecuadorian dishes made by my grandmother all the time. I watch her cook because I want to learn how to make the dishes. […]

I am starting to experience the Latino culture more and express myself more everyday and learning what it […]
I am a little lighter and look a little different than my mom’s side of the family. Even though I am part Irish, I understand Spanish and can speak it too. I watch novela’s with my grandmother (mami) and help her make empanadas, chicharron, and so many other Ecuadorian dishes! I love our traditions, our […]
My earliest memories were at 3390 Keele St. There were only a few Latinos in the Keele and Sheppard area, a mostly European dominated neighborhood in the 80’s and 90’s. We were a few, but we stuck together. We were fearless and stood our ground. We even took our beats, but we earned respect. If […]
I was raised by a single mother and I grew up in the Jane & Finch area. With an absent father, my mother worked hard to provide for me, teaching me values and teaching me to never give up and to keep striving, keep pushing. I went to Brazil to play in the 2nd division […]
It is time to Rise Up and say no more to “biased profiling and prosecutions” @latinojustice. I AM NOT a criminal, thief, drug dealer or everything and anything negative because of race or ethnicity. I am an innovator, doctor, singer, lawyer, janitor, politician, dancer, athlete, maid, youth worker, artist and so much more. It is time to […]
I have leather skin the color of cinnamon and I am of native heritage. My father always said we are honest working people. My mother said She loves me no matter what and don’t forget to be humble. I am my mother’s blessings. I am the salsa and music the comes from my kitchen. I […]
