Soulful Sojourners™ Publications

Puerto Rico is a masterpiece of contradiction and contrast—breathtaking beauty and historic brutality intertwined in ways that continue to echo through its people, its land, and its soul. This Island, my Island, is the land of the coquí—a tiny frog whose song carries the heartbeat of the archipelago. The coquí cradles us at night and reminds us that we are home. It is the sacred soundtrack of the Boricua spirit.

Many of us were taught that staying small, quiet, and unseen would keep us safe. But in today's world, invisibility is no longer protection — it is silent surrender. Every time you hold back your voice, you hold back your dreams. Every time you hide your gifts, the world loses something only you could offer. "Visibility is not about being louder; it is about being truer." You were never meant to live unseen. You were meant to stand fully in your light.

Your visibility matters not just for your liberation but for our collective future. In this moment of regression, I invite you to consider: What truth are you uniquely positioned to speak? What perspective goes unheard when you remain silent? How might your visibility create pathways for others to emerge from invisibility?

Reclaiming our dignity is not about demanding permission to exist—it is about remembering that permission was never needed.

The world needs your unique gifts now more than ever. The time to begin architecting your legacy is now.
