She would like to see the younger generation keep the traditions of Puerto Rico's traditional dances and typical music alive. The tradition of Parrandas, when friends gather on Christmas Eve, is also a tradition she would like to see continued. She said it's important to keep the traditions alive so families who immigrate feel welcome and valued. (Photo by Robert Falcetti)
