Rafael A. Osuba (n. 1967) es un artista visual, productor cultural y cuentacuentos. Le apasiona compartir recuerdos e historias de su querido Puerto Rico. Creció en el Barrio La Mineral en Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, y a menudo encuentra inspiración para sus relatos en esas entrañables experiencias de la niñez en Borikén.Osuba cree que es esencial enseñar a los niños el valor de preservar la cultura y de destacar la belleza y positividad diaria que nos rodea.

Vive en la ciudad de Raleigh, Carolina del Norte, con su esposa, mejor amiga y musa, Michelle.Rafael A. Osuba (b. 1967) is a visual artist, cultural producer, and storyteller.
