“Old Port, in many ways, feels like quintessential Portland, Maine: cobblestone streets, a bustling waterfront, and charming bistros pepper this iconic, central hub. Old Port attracts those looking for a lively, picturesque place to live, in the heart of the city.

The psychological effects of white supremacy inform her exploration into the impacts of colonialism on identity. Pérez's familial history, particularly her father Miguel's experience with the Puerto Rican diaspora, contributes to a fractured family narrative and a distorted sense of identity. Pérez addresses ongoing colonization and historical injustices to Boriken, such as forced sterilization and land displacement, through her work, shedding light on complex intersections and inviting reflection on enduring legacies of oppression and displacement.
