#Earth in #Acorn with #YokoOno

Frida Kahlo exhibition in Genova, Italy

When people ask me where I am from I am puzzled because I am many people and many places. I am more than two cultures blended and reconciled. But don't you be fooled, I say because wherever I go I carry the bright colors of the beautiful city that sheltered my childhood, my native Guayaquil #PerlaDelPacifico. Here at el #Malecon2000 a few years ago. #Ecuayorker #TransnationalChild
