Almost a year after the sudden death of Alynda Segarra’s father, the sight of a Bronx-bound subway entrance made the musician cry.
“I walked by the 1 train yesterday, and the color of the red and the ‘1’ and the ‘Van Cortlandt Park’ and the ‘Uptown’ — I just burst into tears,” Segarra, who uses they/them pronouns, said.
“My dad loved enjoying,” Segarra said.
“He just didn’t deny himself pleasure.
So now I’m really starting to be like, ‘Why not?’”
