A scholar, author and documentary filmmaker, Vega was also a founding member of El Museo Del Barrio and served as its director for several years. Moreno Vega has made it her mission to ensure the preservation of the Caribbean region's cultural and religious history, especially its African community. One of her lifelong areas of study is Santería, a religion practiced today and which has its roots in the practices of Yoruba Africans who were brought to the Americas as slaves.
Vega was born in New York's El Barrio, or Spanish Harlem, to Puerto Rican parents who had left the island. Though much of her scholarly work is historical, Vega has made the Caribbean Cultural Center a community resource and international gathering place on current Latino and African-American intellectual, music, and artistic endeavors.
“Our ultimate goal is to eliminate racism and [the] misinterpretation of values and contributions of all,” said Vega, whose plans for the center include more technology training and certificate-granting education for the younger generation.
