Hi! My name is Patricia Zarate Singletary. I live in my hometown of Tallahassee, FL and I am 5th generation Floridian. My paternal grandmother's family immigrated from Cuba to work in the cigar factories in Ybor City, Tampa. My mother's family is Mexican-American and lives out west in Wyoming and Colorado. I love sharing local history, especially information about the civil rights movement in Florida and throughout the south. Currently learning more about the Latine history that exists in this region outside of well-known areas, like Miami. Happy to be here!
