Solange Omon es una mujer hermosísima. Podría decir sin ningún problema que es dominicana 🇩🇴 y el mundo entero se lo creería.

RIP Senora Arroyo @ALAPAorg She was part Hispanic (Afro-Latina Puerto Rican).
Famed soprano Martina Arroyo has died. She was 90.
With her luminous voice and ease on stage, the Harlem native broke barriers as one of the first major Black opera stars in the 1960s and 1970s.
She was also familiar to the nation's TV viewers at the time as a frequent guest on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show."
In 2013, she was honored by the Kennedy Center, just one of her many awards.
Arroyo announced her retirement in 1989 and devoted herself to teaching.

La autonomía también significa poder decidir cómo queremos vernos, vestirnos, llevar nuestro cabello y habitar nuestros cuerpos sin tener que ajustarnos a una estética racializada de respetabilidad.
