Boricua: A person of Puerto Rican nationality or heritage.

VirtualBoricua.org is a labor of love borne from our collective stateside experience. It is about documenting, honoring—y, a veces, regañando—metropolitan Puerto Ricans of every persuasion. VirtualBoricua.org covers contemporary news from a progressive vantage point—and showcases Boricua artists. While there are quite a number of excellent (quite beautiful and informative) websites on the history and culture of Puerto Ricans in America, there is always room for more voices to be heard. We generally don't cover sports or crime and while we do feature entertainers, VirtualBoricua.org is more about broadening the field to highlight community artists. We are noncommercial and we collect no data, so there are no IP trackers, cookies, banner advertising or pop-up ads. Aside from an informal mailing list, VirtualBoricua.org has no registration form or guest book, so please visit us often if you want to stay on top of the issues. Please contact us by email with suggestions, photos, story leads or other ideas.
