Our sense of longing fuels our aspirations. My first year in the U.S. has been spent doing just that: despite the miles between us, I’ve been strengthening ties with my island, my culture, my family and friends. I strode city streets with my head held high, thanks to the encouragement and calls from my mom to and from work and much-needed conversations with fellow Puerto Ricans in the diaspora ―those who have scattered to the U.S. mainland or other places in the world. We understand well the crisis we’re in: leaving when Puerto Rico when it needs you the most, as the island faces a debt that exceeds $72 billion and with no accountability for those who have created many of its current problems “Writing, directing, and bringing [my vision for] cinematography was out of fear that I didn’t want anyone else to possibly break Jacob’s gear,” Phillip says jokingly about his friend’s camera equipment. “With that, it forced me to look at the film to assess the whole thing in a whole different way.”Burning Cane Kelsea posted a short video on the 'gram singing the chorus of "Million Reasons," one of the songs off the new album. She stripped the track all the way down with just a guitar in hand and delivered an incredibly moving performance in just a few seconds. Not only will you want to replay this clip, but her voice on the song will get you to see in a completely different light.The star wasrumoredto have a song with none other thanTaylor Swift
