Christina Milian
– Afro-Cuban
“Since early, it’d be like, I’m Cuban but [people] didn’t get it because I was also brown-skinned, and you usually see a fair-skinned Latino, so it was just like, ‘Oh, what are you? Are you black? Are you white?” Milian said. “I didn’t feel like I had to make a choice. I am what I am.”
“We’re all different, but you have to accept our differences,” she continued. “As far as Afro-Cuban [goes], I’m finding more and more that there’s people opening their eyes to seeing that. Latinos come in all colors, all shades.”
