In this episode of Historican, we explore the world of Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez — artist, activist, and creator of the groundbreaking Afro-Boricua superhero La Borinqueña. Through his work, Edgardo blends art, culture, history, and activism to reimagine what heroism looks like for Puerto Ricans at home and across the diaspora. La Borinqueña isn’t just a comic book character — she’s a symbol of resilience, resistance, and cultural pride. From community organizing to creative storytelling, Edgardo uses his platform to honor Puerto Rican identity and amplify the power of representation. His work reminds us that art can be both a weapon and a healing force — a bridge between the past and the future #LaBorinqueña #HistoricanPodcast #EdgardoMirandaRodriguez #PuertoRico #BoricuaPower #ArtAsActivism #PuertoRicanDiaspora #RepresentationMatters #Cultura #Historican
