Essentially we’re all just a product of our society, a product of our family upbringing.
After college, I traveled to the DR — on a very millennial whim, as I joke — to discover my roots. I was born in the DR and left when I was 4, but I hadn’t been back. So I bought a ticket for two months to backpack the country. And those two months turned into what’s now been 11 years.
