Wyllow Isabella Caraballo

A woman of color

Latoya was born in Haynesville, LA (no where near New Orleans). She is one of nine children and says she and her siblings are in every shade, something she loves, but that did raise questions growing up. Now, as a wife & mother of four girls who are also various shades of beautiful brown, she deals with the questions all over again about whether or not she and her children are mixed  (referring  to  our  colorism  series) LaToya says today she has learned how to address the questions and is always conscious of making sure her girls feel beautiful in every shade.

Wyllow Isabella Caraballo

A Woman of Color

Wyllow Isabella Caraballo was born and raised in New York (Brooklyn).  Her parents are both  Puerto Rican  from the island.  Her father's side  of  the  family is more white/spaniard/european mix.  Her  mom’s   family is  more  Taino  Indian/african mix.  Although they were on the same island, colorism (referring  to  our  colorism  series)  was extremely prevalent from the beginning.  She  and  her  siblings,  being  a  more  mocha color were considered middle of the road and  were not white enough to participate in the "white privilege" concept but not dark enough to be considered “black and less  attractive.”  It was a neverending walk of the colorism line within her  own community.

She said she is proud of her heritage and even more proud to say that she is Puerto Rican.
