Heres what we chatted about when our avatars linked up.
I actually had no idea.
Fortunately for me, the Meta team was able break it down in laymans terms.
If you were to compare it to the internets development, the metaverse is only in the dial-up stage.
What was your very first impression when you put on your headset?
Its kind of shocking!
I cant even explain it.
I recently just went to Japan and it was very stimulating in a way that I didnt anticipate.
The expression is…whoa.
Its so hard to explain unless youre in it.
But all of my friends who come over and try it say, This isamazing.
Its trippy in the best way ever.
Im so thankful to be a part of something so futuristic.
Not that I never thought I would.
But since the representation for me, in particular, wasnt there, its hard to imagine something.
There were tons of options; I could even have braids.
I was just about to say that I love your braids!
Its making me miss having braids.
Even just picking your avatars skin color used to be a choice between three different shades.
It would have been nice to have different shades, hairstyles, and eye colors.
I probably was on there for an hour straight.
And the fashion are you kidding?
I was here for the fashion.
Its all codes, so its easy to input.
Not just throwing out a checklists.
We can see through checklists nowadays and those are not fun.
When we went to [Nuevo Norte], it was so beautiful.
Its full of color which is very much our culture and little phrases likecafecitoover there.
The frog you see is called coqui its very Puerto Rican.
Its just seeing your culture being represented and thought out.
This is just another way of allowing us to be authentically ourselves.
What does third culture orTercera Culturamean to you personally?
To be super honest, I didnt have a word for it.
I always hadtercera culturawith me because my parents are from the Dominican Republic.
They brought their traditions and culture.
I was born in New York and thats awholeseparate culture.
