Lala Vasquez looks effortlessly beautiful on the April 2010 cover of Latina magazine. The 30 year-old mother sat down with the magazine and spoke about her upcoming wedding to bball star Carmelo Anthony, as well as her take on being Black & Puerto Rican.
On being Black/Puerto Rican:
Since childhood, people have often assumed that she is black. “Which I am!” she says, almost yelling. “But I am also 100 percent Puerto Rican and I’m proud of that. People got it twisted and thought I was saying, I’m Puerto Rican. I’m not black. That isn’t what I was saying. It’s just that when I tell someone I’m Puerto Rican, I don’t want to hear someone say, ‘You ain’t Puerto Rican. You black.’ As if I can only be one or the other. Do I look like Jennifer Lopez? No. Clearly, I’m a black woman. However you want to define that, that’s what I am. And I’m also a Spanish-speaking Puerto Rican woman. Period.
