Based on a qualitative analysis of 7 interviews I conducted with mothers in shelter, I explore how survivors understand themselves as mothers, their partners as fathers, and the role of substance abuse in their relationships.

My thesis delves deep into Bad Bunny's music video "El Apagon- Aqui Vive Gente" and how Puerto Rico became an island constantly faced with adversity.
