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.

Books for All!
My favorite books are here to answer questions like "what relationship did Tainos have with the stars?"
This collection of books includes those elders assigned me. Learn our stories, read them, retell them. That was their advice. My advice to you is the same.

Let customers speak for us
I own many bags and rotate most of them for use. The organic bag I purchased here from OT, I find myself wanting to take with me and skip all of my other bags. Its soft, strong for heavy items and has my beautiful Cuban flag on it. Of course, I love it !
Ramona is very down to earth and knowledgeable, her products are amazing I would recommend to anyone.
Beautiful, lovely accompaniment to a suit/formal wear. Thank you!
For a BIG Dude like myself this fits like I expected it to. But the SAD thing about it is that some of my faily members now want ME to buy them one. So, I huess I know where their holiday shopping is coming from.
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.
