Educational Profile

Milagros Quezada Borbón, known artistically as Milly Quezada, was born on May 21, 1955 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Her parents met in the city of Santiago after her maternal grandmother relocated the family there from Esperanza in the Cibao region of the Dominican Republic.

Milly Quezada is one of four children in a family, which includes her brother Rafael, her sister Jocelyn, and her youngest brother Martin. Members of the working class, they lived a modest life: Milly’s father worked as a presser at a dry cleaners and her mother was a saleswoman in a department store.

Seeking better economic opportunities, the family joined the thousands of Dominicans who undertook the great migration to the United States. The Quezada family left the Dominican Republic in 1965 and settled in Washington Heights, a historically immigrant neighborhood in New York City that later became known as the heartland of the Dominican community in the U.S.
