Rosas dominicana

In a time when many Latinos are worried about the future of their community, Carmen de la Rosa is working tirelessly to fight for justice and equality for all. As a State Assembly Member representing the 72nd district in Inwood, she has fought against racism and xenophobia with unwavering conviction. She is a progressive Democrat who supports criminal justice reform, truly affordable housing and protections for tenants, taxing the wealthy, climate justice and many other consequential social justice policies.


She is also a proud daughter of Dominican descent. Her roots run deep and she is passionate about promoting the culture. “The best way to understand the Dominican Republic is through its music, dance and food,” she says. “These are the foundations that we have built our country on.”


The most common herbal remedies used by Dominican women for their reproductive health and genitourinary health are mixtures. The percentage of mixtures in plant use reports varied depending on geographic location and participant status. In NYC, lay persons reported significantly more plant mixtures prepared as teas for respiratory conditions and in the DR they mentioned more botellas (bottled herbal mixtures). Interviewees believe that combining different plants enhances their healing properties and increases their versatility as medicines.


“Authorities must urgently find a long term solution to this crisis,” says Erika Guevara-Rosas. “A simple and accessible procedure without a time limit for the recognition of the Dominican nationality to all those who were deprived of it by the 2013 ruling would be a crucial first step.”
