Yuisa are lively, imaginative, enthusiastic and optimistic. Yuisa are expressive and inspire others wherever they go. Yuisa possess great verbal skills which make them good comedian, artist or writer. Yuisa “A woman who pays her own bills, buys her own things, and does not allow a man to affect her stability or self-confidence. She supports herself entirely on her own and is proud to be able to do so.
Legend has it (that to protect her people) Yuisa became the lover of mulatto conquistador Pedro Mejias and because of this she was killed by other Taino Caciques ( who felt she was a traitor to have been with a spaniard). She actually was a hero and greatly admired by her own tribal people, even today. This may be the legend that gives meaning to the mix in Loiza of black Africans and Taino Indian, or it may, in fact be a historical truth. In actual fact, there are no historical documents to prove this, her marriage with Mejias.
