Born and raised on the eastern side of the Caribbean island once inhabited by the Tainos who called her Ayiti/Kiskeya and first encountered the Spanish colonizers who introduced the genocide and pillage of Natives and the trafficking/enslavement of Africans in this continent, Dulce’s two early loves were language arts (Spanish and English) and social studies. She learned and taught English as a teen, to adults and children, prior to US migration in 1989.
