I am a proud Taino man residing in the great neighborhood of Washington Heights. My family is from the island of Boriken and distant relatives from my mother side migrated from Quiskeya. I enjoy indigenous music, activism, and art. It is my dream that indigenous people of all walks of life can gather as one and mend the sacred hoop.
