Puerto Rico Open Your Eyes

Puerto Rico Abran los Ojos (Puerto Rico: Open Your Eyes) is a bold and thought-provoking podcast dedicated to uncovering the true history of Borikén—the island we now know as Puerto Rico. Through weekly episodes, we seek to awaken consciousness across the Latino community, sparking real conversations that bridge generations and borders.

Our show dives deep into the stories often left untold, exploring how Puerto Rico became an unexpected bridge between two continents and examining the historical, cultural, and political forces that have shaped our identity. We confront the good, the bad, and the ugly—highlighting the beauty of Boricua resilience while also facing the realities of economic bondage and colonial legacy.

At the heart of Puerto Rico Abran los Ojos is a commitment to dialogue. We will meet with voices from across the diaspora—activists, historians, artists, elders, and youth—to discuss Puerto Rico’s path toward true self-governance and freedom. This is not just about history; it’s about envisioning a future where Puerto Ricans, both on the island and in the U.S., are empowered, unified, and heard.

With nearly 9 million Puerto Ricans worldwide, our community is a force. This podcast will also explore Puerto Rico’s deep connections with other nations in the Caribbean and Latin America, including Cuba and the Dominican Republic, celebrating our shared struggles, victories, and cultural ties.

Puerto Rico Abran los Ojos is more than a podcast—it’s a movement. Join the conversation. Be part of the change.
