Queen Calafia
Calafia is a fictional warrior queen who ruled over a kingdom of Black women living on the mythical Island of California. The character of Queen Calafia was created by Spanish writer Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo who first introduced her in his popular novel entitled Las sergas de Esplandián (The Adventures of Esplandián), written around 1500.
Calafia, also called Califia, has been depicted as the Spirit of California, and has been the subject of modern-day sculpture, paintings, stories and films; she often figures in the myth of California’s origin, symbolizing an untamed and bountiful land prior to European settlement.

YES!
We have a tendency in this country that when we say Black it automatically means Black Americans. But that’s a big mistake, and that keeps us divided. There are Blacks all over this entire world - even in Africa. So there are Black Hispanics…but Spanish people are a nationality, not a race. You have White Spanish people, you have Black Spanish people, you have Indian-Spanish looking people. There are Black French people and Black English people, you know. I happen to be a Black Hispanic person who was born in this country. So whatever you call it…I like to think of myself as an actress. - Irene Cara

For whatever reason the music in the 14th Street station (A/C/E) is always really beautiful. This morning she was playing. So I had to photograph her.
