For Descendants All Things Baby
Descendants. 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.

Let customers speak for us
I love my new magnet and I love the story behind Ojalá Threads even more!
It can be very hard these days to find brands that enmesh with the ethos of your life. But in the time of my short acquaintance with the brand, Ojala Threads has made a friend of me. Weaving me into the thread of their familia, and from then on the clarity of “what do I do? What do I make of this life?”, sits in front of me everyday. As I walk through life, chin up and assured of exactly who I love and live this life for. 🇭🇹🇩🇴🇩🇲
The earrings are darling! petit yet mountainous in the feelings of empowerment they give me. I feel closer to home because of Ojala Threads, and I thank them eternally for that.
I love this little pouch. It is well-made sturdy and has an awesome design!
Beautiful just as I imagined. Thank you.
Not only do I love the print, though having a newborn she spit up on the onesie. And the bodysuit did not stain! While I treated the spit up with some cold water and laundry detergent, I was pleasantly surprised the bodysuit was like new after being washed. No evidence of the spit up. So in addition to being stylish these bodysuits are sturdy. Exactly what parents to a newborn need. Also the fabric is so soft and love the sizing fits real sized babies! It’s even environmentally mindful with use of dyes that are not harsh for baby or Mother Earth. What’s not to love.
My sister commented on how much she loved my earrings so I got her a pair. Very comfortable and flattering.
Every Puertorriqueño, Latino, no, everyone should read this book.
We need more representation in children’s literature especially. My grandsons will enjoy the book and others like it
Awesome sticker with an awesome message supporting an amazing cause. Great all around.
What a wonderful story and the pages are colorful and delightful looking forward to reading the book during story time for my grandson and other children.
