Beauty is a Puerto Rican girl loved and admired by her family and community. At first, she's awake to their beauty, and her own-a proud Boricua of Taìno and African descent. But as she grows older, she sees how people who look like her are treated badly, and she forgets what makes her special. So her community bands together to help remind her of her beautiful heritage.
