Orgullo Puerto Riqueña

Puerto Riqueñas have been central to the island’s culture, politics, and global presence—often leading movements in music, activism, literature, sports, and community organizing.

Julia de Burgos — poet and symbol of Puerto Rican feminist and national identity

Rita Moreno — first Latina EGOT winner; global cultural icon

Lolita Lebrón — key figure in Puerto Rican political history

Sylvia Rexach — songwriter whose boleros shaped Puerto Rican music

Ana Roqué de Duprey — pioneer of women’s education and suffrage

Mónica Puig — Olympic gold medalist who put Puerto Rico on the world sports stage

Puerto Riqueñas don’t follow history—they shape it.
