Tonight at the Corridor Bar:
Who lost the right to say no?
When refusal is punished, it isn’t a choice.
What looked like exchange wasn’t negotiation.
It was coercion.

✨Hanging some of my art today. This was the first painting I ever bought. Years ago when I was in grad school and in my early 20s, I was on a service trip in the Dominican Republic when we passed through a marketplace and this painting caught my eye. #Taíno #art

It is very important to me to put the spotlight at on Taíno culture. Without it, I wouldn't be puertorican, since puertoricans would simply not exist. Our rich mix of Spanish, African and Taíno roots are what makes us, us.
🏝️ Utuado—Otoao, the Taíno name meaning land between mountains. Where rivers remember and the mountains stand guard. Before colonization, we were community.
This is where my ancestors are from—and where I found myself in my teenage years. 🧡

¡Soy de Utuado, mi gente! 🏝️
Otoao—nombre Taíno que significa tierra entre montañas.
Aquí la raíz resiste, el río recuerda y el monte habla.
Antes del mapa ya éramos pueblo.
De aquí vengo. 🧡

🏝️ Puerto Rican resistance has long faced repression—from Albizu Campos to Elías Beauchamp of Utuado, executed without due process.
Proud of my Utuadeño roots, shaped by dignity, courage, and Taíno spirit.

Christopher Columbus was not a hero.
This video centers a Taíno voice telling the truth about Borikén (Puerto Rico) — truth erased from textbooks but never from memory.
We are still here. 🌺🔥

Revolts & resistance to #slavery & #genocide are always present. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1522, #Muslim slaves on #SantoDomingo sugar #plantations killed nine Spanish conquistadors/slavers and then escaped into the mountains where they merged with the #indigenous #Taíno remnant.
An indie adventure inspired by Taíno culture.

🪇 Did you know maracas were born from our Indigenous ancestors?
The Taíno of Borikén crafted them from gourds, filled with seeds & stones, to carry rhythm, story, & spirit.
Maracas aren’t just instruments — they are our heartbeat, our heritage.

Daytime, indoor view of a tall, white-painted, brick wall inside a subway station in a large city; at the top of the wall, a very large art installation hangs - a beautiful and colorful ceramic mural featuring a nature scene using Taíno symbology; The mural, titled "Neo-Boriken," was created in 1990 by famous Puerto Rican artist Nitza Tufiño; up on the ceiling, a group of fluorescent lights are hanging and numerous pipes are coming out of the wall; at the bottom of the wall, there is a small QR code to scan for subway information, a red exit sign with an arrow pointing to the stairs, and a small plaque with information about the artwork above.

A full moon cradled by a rainbow are just other small ways I feel taken care of by Mama and Baba. If they can do this for me, how can I rationalize worrying about anything? #alchemist #spiritualist #indigenous #taíno #fullmoon

After a year, Spanish #Sociopaths exacted from each adult #Taíno a fixed amount of gold or spun cotton:
If this tribute was not brought, the hands of the Taíno were cut off, and he was left to bleed to death.
Resulting Taíno revolts against the Spanish, were at times successful.
The ' #Taíno' - are the #Bahamas indigenous people

Flag of the Taíno people. Horizontal triband of red, yellow, and green. The red and green are of equal sizes but the centre yellow is larger than both red and green combine. In the centre is a stylized sun in black with rotational symmetry in thirds.
Can we admire the beauty of the #Taíno flag? #nativeamerican #caribbean #vexillology
