While Puerto Rico is known for its breathtaking beaches and tropical landscapes, recently we have become increasingly associated with devastating images of hurricane battery, debt crises and illiberalism. Yet, intrepid Puerto Rican entrepreneurs tell a different story: one of self-reliance, community empowerment and determination. Our project invites high school and university students to depict entrepreneurship through photography as a tool to fight poverty. Our aim is to educate youth about entrepreneurship as a path to prosperity, while creating a portfolio that tells the story of Puerto Ricans determined to build different paths, away from dependency and on to self-reliance.
