Baby. Where we began...
At four months old my nephew Jadiel was diagnosed with meningitis. This inspired me to share with him everything that I had learned about our identity as Dominican, American, Taino, African and European. I began with a simple desire, to make him a baby onesie.
Within a year Jadiel was wearing our first design, Folklorico.
