There’s still time to get involved! Filming begins Sunday, June 8th, 2025 at the Puerto Rican Day Parade. A few spots remain to walk with 100 Hispanic Women and Governor Kathy Hochul’s Office — inquire below.

We recently wrapped our Kickstarter campaign for Honoring the Past, Filming the Future: A Puerto Rican Story a cultural film celebrating Puerto Rican pride and honoring my late grandfather, Latin music executive Ralph Mercado.

Thanks to our incredible community, we raised $2,070 (41% of our $5,000 goal). Although we didn’t meet Kickstarter’s all-or-nothing threshold, your support confirmed this story needs to be told.

We’re keeping the momentum alive through Chattin’ with D, where every contribution goes directly toward bringing this film to life. We’re grateful for support from Shirt King Phade’s “Boricua” Shirts, with proceeds helping fund production. With creatives, artists, and leaders joining us on the road, you never know who you might meet. $upport, share, or spread the word — you’re helping preserve culture and inspire the future.

More collaborations to come. Stay tuned.
