“I am Taína: a feminine reclaiming of a Spanish colonial misnomer that has long described the indigenous Arawak people of my West African and Scottish ancestors’ most recent expression in the (Caribbean) Antilles.

“The proverb ‘they tried to bury us / they didn’t know we were seeds’—of Divine thought in the forms of stars, elements, mineral and plant material, human essence, etc.—describes my life’s HeartwoRx, flowering daily via the embodied ethics, progressive inquiry, creative expression and related Indigenous narrative medical practices; always centering the marginalized.”
