The “Where Are You From?” Trap. Why NYC is so EXHAUSTING!
I often wonder if I will ever move back to New York City and then I remember the city's identity dynamics. The answer is pretty simple! https://youtu.be/cy4R54h_ifU New York City is very small in size. It measures 472.43 sq mi (1,223.59 km2). There are currently 8.5 million people living in the city. I truly believe there are people from every nation in the world living there. And while this is one of the charms of New York, the tribalism can become exhausting. We all look for similarities in each other;...

Bio
I was born and raised in New York City and lived there until 2018, when I moved to Medellín. Both my parents are Colombian, so I’ve always existed between two cultures—that mix shaped how I see and interact with the world.
I started Colombian Jukebox in 2021 as a music project, but it’s grown with me. Now it’s a space where I write and talk about the things that make me stop, think, or raise an eyebrow. I also have a playlist that I like to update every once in a while.
My main job — and what actually pays the bills — is leading cultural walks in the city’s creative district. I do them in New York City too. I enjoy them because I’m naturally curious, and I like seeing what other people are curious about too. I also love telling stories and sharing what I’ve learned along the way.
Thank you for stopping by!
