Our  Story

Hey there!
Welcome to Boricuas en North Carolina - the hub for Puerto Ricans in the Tar Heel State. We started off as a tight-knit online community back in 2010, but now we've blossomed into a full-fledged grassroots organization.

Our mission is simple: to connect, support, and empower our fellow Boricuas in North Carolina. Whether you're looking for resources, events, or just a friendly chat, you've come to the right place. Let's make our Puerto Rican community shine in the heart of North Carolina!

Community    

Connecting our Puerto Rican diaspora, family and friends with our #traditions.  Creating a space that belongs to all of us, no matter where we are in North Carolina.

Cultural Awareness

The diversity in our communities allows us to understand the beauty in different cultures, nationalities and beliefs.
Community Facilitators

Freddy 


"I have something to say I'll let you know, Live!"






Naty

 
"In 99 out of 100 cases I am wearing two different colored / patterned socks.  Life is just too short to look for two socks that look the same."


Loraine


"Even though my name is Loraine Johnson, I am 100% Puerto Rican, born and raised in the island." 



Karol

"Every time I see someone from Puerto Rico at work, I can't help but greet them with  WEEEPAAAAAA!!!!!!"




Melbelys

"I have traveled to beautiful destinations from a very young age, but I have to say my favorite place is Puerto Rico... there’s no place like home!"


Christian


"Born and raised in Vega Baja PR, now lives in Cary with his wife and 3 dogs, and dog sits on his free time."



Willmarie

"There is not one person who has met me in North Carolina that does not know I’m from Puerto Rico. To say I am proud of where I come from is an understatement!"




Sergio

"People need to learn their own culture, and  they need to learn their own customs and traditions. We definitely need to learn about our past to be able to build our presence, so what I do is pretty much teach people."


Why join our community?
