News review of My Book "Mi Vida Loca Tales Of a Nuyorican"

The article praised your storytelling for blending humor, pain, resilience, culture, and real-life struggles in a way that felt authentic and relatable to the community. It emphasized how your voice moves naturally between comedy and heartfelt reflection, giving readers both laughs and emotional moments throughout the book.
One of the strongest takeaways from the review was the recognition of your journey — from East New York Brooklyn beginnings to becoming a stand-up comedian, performer, and author — while still staying connected to your Puerto Rican roots and everyday NYC experiences.
The review also described the book as:
“A must-read… a powerful testament to resilience and storytelling.”
