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.
