Quick detour from the Taínos to mention the Incas because few people know that the beloved rapper 2pac Shakur was named after...Túpac Amaru, who was the last chieftan of the Incan Empire to actually rule over his people. After the Spanish invaded the Andes many of Túpac Amaru's family members were murdered and by 1570 very few regions were still under Incan rule.Túpac Amaru led a brief one year rebellion against the Spanish in 1571 before he was captured and executed. With him died the last hope of a return to Inca rule in the Andes, but his name and resistance in the face of insurmountable odds are worth remembering. So shoutout to one of the last American kings, Túpac Amaru. Happy indigenous people's day! #ColumbusIsNotMyHero #YourTextbooksBeLying #LetsWorkOnSomeRevisions #QueVivaPeru

Pollo saltado. We were inspired by the Peruvian dish known as "Lomo saltado". Chicken tenders seasoned with paprika, black pepper, and Worcestershire. Stir fried with onions and green bell peppers. Served over white rice and steak fries. #bringiton #fusiontime #quevivaperu #casafoodie #pakoepono #itsbeenawhile #letseat

Today in America we're facing many problems, including immigration. To me, immigration represents something powerful. America is full of diversity due to immigration. We are enriched with different cultures and beliefs, but some want to end immigration. They forget their own roots. I wasn't born in Peru, but my culture and my history is there. My parents never failed to remind me of it. It's part of me in every single way. It's something, I'm very proud of. Happy Independence Day, my beautiful Peru ❤️
