from my condition as a woman and from my condition as a black .” Nancy ’ s vision of the world , as she said in an interview , is deeply affected by her three conditions : being black , Cuban and a woman ; which in her opinion , cannot be separated from each other .
Nancy proves to be a versatile woman that is able to voice the concerns and feelings of a culture , a nationality and a gender , which is not an easy task . But for Nancy , as she says , “ Poetry comes easy to me , like a bird ”. This demonstrates that Nancy in her simplicity can still write about complex themes regarding race , culture and gender liberation , while also staying true to her own Black and female identity and also the deep influence that Nationalism and the Cuban Revolution had in her works throughout . This makes her not only an outstanding writer but also the voice and mediator of a diverse platform conformed of the Afro Cuban culture and the female gender in today ’ s society .
