About me

Mabrika, my Taíno relatives.

I am Atabeya, daughter of the waters — descended from the Ciboney of Cienfuegos, and the ancestral peoples of Kiskeya and Borikén.

Guided by the ocean and the whisper of my elders, I walk between waves and forest on a path of healing, spirituality, and remembrance.

Through Taíno Woods, I seek to honor our ancestors, rekindle our sacred traditions, and keep alive the songs that still flow through the rivers and hearts of our islands.
