WHAT IT IS: This talented songstress, who’s very excited to share her story through “Como” with Daddy Yankee, also wants to publicly discuss growing up “Nuyorican,” and her identity struggles, for the first time. Not speaking fluent Spanish led to being perceived as less of a Latina, which seriously affected Viera, even though she grew up with parents who instilled traditional Puerto Rican values and traditions into her life. She considers the topic to be of great importance, as she strives to encourage and inspire other young Latinas—especially those who didn’t learn the language of their parents and grandparents, but still proclaim with pride, “Yo Soy Boricua!”
