“I’m the beat for two girls who are rapping. We’re gonna rap about feminism! I was bingewatching the show online and I was listening to the music non-stop because I want to be a part of this. It’s been my dream. I’m Puerto Rican and the person who made Hamilton is also Puerto Rican, so let’s go Boricua! It makes me feel happy that there is diversity in plays."
