For the month of October I will be sharing my top thirty-one #afrolatinastoknow today I honor: #1 Dr. Marta Moreno Vega. I met Dr. Vega in 2007, when I interviewed for my first published article. The article that was the seed to my work on the #afrolatinosfilm. Back then the #cccadi was in Columbus Circle. Her dedication, passion and drive has secured a new location in East Harlem, where it absolutely belongs. Marta Vega means so much to this community, but to me I will always see her at one of the mothers of the #afrolatinomovement. @afrolatinostv
