Comment by Joanna 'Aya' Soto-Avilés on November 29, 2011 at 2:06pm: Takahi Guatiao,

Hahó for the invitation, Guatiao. My family and I would love to be able to physically attend but we cannot make the trip to New York from Boriké (aka Puerto Rico) at this time. However, we will be with you all in Spirit and we send you our Love, Blessings, Prayers and Good Wishes. We know that our people will be well represented and we trust in the Creator to guide your steps. Así que palante mi gente!
May YaYa Bless you all and this work being done for the good of all peoples impacted by racism and racial discrimination.

Taíno-tí,
Tio Bo Guatukan, Seneko Kakona,
Love, Hugs, Peace & Blessings,
Joanna Soto-Avilés & Family
