Alycia works progressively to represent both sides of her ethnicity and create spaces for women who look like her. While attending a rally back in June 2020, Alycia shared her experiences with discrimination.
"Mi Gente (my beloved Latinx community)," she addressed, in her post. "I am an extremely proud Dominican Afro Latina. Despite being ridiculed, degraded and harassed for the color of my skin I have always known that my melanin is a blessing. I'm Black and I'm proud. In the past I was apprehensive to candidly discuss the oppression and discrimination I endured, especially within the Latino community. But we must speak frankly for things to change."
