How I can hide my big lips and big booty that I carry with honor and pride? I am Dominican, mixed and proud.
I love her! Repping for Afro-Latinas everywhere!
I started following her when she wasn't known at all and now she is everywhere so happy for her!
We need more role models like Massy Arias! Thank you!

Rizzoli Careyoli "you can't win with black people!" Must run into alot of people who are colorist and uneducated in what race means! I would think it's the non minorities who doesn't understand, especially knowing American history alone...I'm black and American btw and I have to constantly teach people about race and nationality! This African descended woman from the Latin nation of The DR is a beautiful representation of Afro Latina and did a great job of explaining the term👍👍👍

Latin derives from having Spanish descent which is European, so sick of America the only people who focus on someones skin!

"Brown and latin" technically
Im so proud of her knowing who she is. Im Half American and Hispanic with Asian and Native American roots. My mom was from America 🇺🇸 Full Black Woman and My Father was From Cuba 🇨🇺 Mixed Afro Latin . And i love my roots 😌 it can be confusing sometimes because people want you to identify as who they want you to be, but I will always identify as what i truly am ❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺😝🔥
She is gorgeous
what a wonderful woman. So transparent with her struggles and her wins. Very inspirational!
I love that I’ve started attempting to do Massy Arias’s Mobility Training. It has changed my life.❤

@@ricdaphree7759 ... I don't think she meant to be insulting. My best friend is PR & he has not mastered the English language, and has been here since the age of 14... he is 50 years old! Maybe she encountered people like my friend. I have asked him why his English isn't better and he says, "watch it!!!!" ok... never answered the question... and... he has the nerve to get insulted when people don't understand him! LOL! PS: ... he actually feels more comfortable speaking in Spanish.

Latina is not a race, it never was, it is a cultural identity, so it is incorrect to say Black/Latina

Technically, the word Hispanic is a term the census created for only Mexicans in the 1950. Latin has evolved to encompasses all Spanish speakers however, Spanish, Latin, Hispanic... is not a race.

@@ImRunningazoo A Dominican like my Fiancé who know their history. Who know that they are the descendants of strong stolen people who were taken from their land and brought to DR by the Spaniards to work the sugar cane fields. Someone who knows the difference between Ethnicity and Race. Someone who knows the difference between National Identity and Race. Someone who has learned their history and did not allow propaganda or white washing to stop them from embracing and learning the truth. That is a WOKE Dominican and I Iove Massy Arias and my Fiancé for being one of them!
very inspirational! thank you for this!
Much respect to her after watching. Keep doing your thing, Massy.
She is a HUGE inspiration to me. I love her! Gracias por todo and mucho inspiración , Massy! ^_^
She seems so genuine and intelligent. 👍
Love her!! go massy! big fan from Trinidad an tobago
With all we’ve all gone through Massy yto find an interview with you is always uplifting. Would love to see more of you. Cuídate un fuerte abrazo.
Thank you Massy for acknowledging your roots on BOTH sides! You are SHERO!! love you too!!
She's awesome. Very inspirational.
We didn't know you before we watched this video. Your decision to "embrace" your African ancestry has made me an instant fan!! May you experience much success!! Ephesians 3:20 (TPT). Peace
I just found Massy channel a few days ago and I can honestly say that Inlove her videos. Great interview 👍
So pleased I found this girl! You are an inspirational and motivating. When I feel down, I just look t your pics, I am not a quitter either. I will be looking like that some day, baby steps!
she is a great amazing person. very inspirational
Outstanding story! Inspirational!
Great talk, I love how she didn't deny either aspect of her heritage.
I LOVE her ❤️! Helping to change my life 🙏🏽! Thank you
She is beautiful :). I am a black Brazilian (lighter skinned) who grew up in the US. I don't understand the black/Latino identity crisis that many Latinos have. In Brazil, most black Brazilians proudly identify as such. I find it odd that blacks in the Spanish speaking countries like the Dominican Republic somehow try to deny the obvious. Kinda weird.
Man, I am such a fan. You claim your skin color and I've lived in NYC and MOST don't, so koodos to you for claiming ALL (todos) of yourself!
Gracias! 🇩🇴 this video is so INSPIRATIONAL for me! ✊🏿💪🏾
Great interview. She is very confident
Such a positive, beautiful, strong woman... much love Massy!!! 💕💕💕
She is my hero✨

Felicidades Massy y muchas gracias por tu inspiration!
Beautiful women i first seen her on the Doc show. Glad she knows her roots and her excersises inspire me to get up and go ! She has a beautiful family. I do have Dominican friends and they identify as black, afro latino. Massy wall excersises saved me from upper arm pain and lower back musle pain ect. She is the goat of fitness.

I love you even more now that I heard your story❤❤❤
Love you Massy
Awesome!
i love her!!
As cool as it was to hear her proudly admit to and identify herself with being a black ("brown" technically) woman and even low-key call out the hypocrisy of dark-skinned dominican women (and the majority of latin people in general) denying where their skin color truly originates from, she should definitely do more to cater to black ("brown") people as much as she does to latin people. Every piece of beneficial and helpful info and advice should be offered to black ("brown") people the same as it is to latin people.
I love Massy! 😊❤
