"The only thing more powerful than hate is LOVE!"
Yesterday was a special day for us. It reminded us of something powerful: no matter where you come from, your voice matters, and your voice deserves to be heard. We live in a world that can be violent, a world where people may try to judge or discriminate against us because of how we look, or even because of the language we speak. But the truth is simple, we are all human. There are no illegal humans. We are all different, and that difference is not a weakness. It is what makes us special. It is what makes us human. Our culture is something we must protect, something we must carry with pride, no matter how much others try to tear it down. To anyone who feels alone, to anyone who feels like giving up... don’t. Keep going. Keep fighting for your dreams. And take it from us, just a couple of nerds making video games from a small island called Puerto Rico.
