In parts of Latin America, including Antonio’s birthplace of Nicaragua, a fritanga is a gathering space where a variety of down-home food is fried, cooked, and served communal style. Fritangas transcend class structures, race, ethnicity, and other divisions by providing an accessible space to connect over comfort food, culture, and community. Much like the variety of offerings in a fritanga, our Latinx identity is composed of a variety of elements that represent unique lived experiences, values, and community, each with its own flavor and sazon. These elements are brought together in our Latinidad.
