    I started writing In The Heights because I didn’t feel seen. 
And over the past 20 years all I wanted was for us—ALL of us—to feel seen.
I’m seeing the discussion around Afro-Latino representation in our film this weekend and it is clear that many in our dark-skinned Afro-Latino community don’t feel sufficiently represented within it, particularly among the leading roles.
I can hear the hurt and frustration over colorism, of feeling still unseen in the feedback.
I hear that without sufficient dark-skinned Afro-Latino representation, the work feels extractive of the community we wanted so much to represent with pride and joy.
In trying to paint a mosaic of this community, we fell short.
I’m truly sorry.
I’m learning from the feedback, I thank you for raising it, and I’m listening.
I’m trying to hold space for both the incredible pride in the movie we made and be accountable for our shortcomings.  
Siempre, LMM

        In The Heights is sick! As a boricua oiving in ‘la diáspora’ I teared up a couple of times and I know others did as well. Not with sadness but with pride!!! Music and lyrics were ON POINT!

        It's wonderful you found joy from this film, but maybe don't dismiss an apology that wasn't yours to accept.

        Wow. It is beautiful to recognize one’s shortcomings while still being able to take pride in one’s accomplishments. Gracias, Sr. Miranda.

        I’m absolutely in love with the movie, Lin. As a afro-latina i’m proud. as a brazilian when i saw my flag in “carnaval del barrio” i cried like a baby. Thank you for all you’ve done in this movie. Thank you. 🥺❤️

        Being latin is about representativity and inclusion. Us brazilians don’t speak spanish, but we’re still part of this community, we all feel so outside of all of this but when you did it Lin, you said “you are one of us too.” and i couldn’t be more grateful! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷💚💛💙
