My Story

Mine has been an elusive path that has been manifesting itself performatively through creative experiences that I unfold within the quotidian. I grew up in a culturally and spiritually diverse home in the Caribbean island of Quisqeya —in the Taíno language, Mother of All Lands— rich in cross-pollinations of all kinds. This upbringing prepared me for becoming familiar and at ease with the different roads that I would tread through the years: as an art pilgrim to different museums in the New York City metropolitan area, as an educator who has worked in countries far away from my social locations —with students from toddlers to elders—, and as a being interested in connecting with the movement of life at a cosmic level. Early attempts to reach out beyond my immediate surroundings, yet to be rooted in them at the same time, entailed building an elaborate altar in my bedroom at the age of six. Most recently, I have embarked on a conscious path through which I am open to reconnecting with the wholeness within. In this sense, I see myself as a bruised or a beat up healer in the service of the collective wellbeing.  In 2011, I was baptized as a Bronxite by Susan Newmark Fleminger and Bill Aguado, in a ceremony officiated by Martha Wilson.

I welcome your questions regarding my assistance to you through a variety of processes that meld all of my experiences in the arts, education, theology, healing, spirituality, walking, and being on this planet for five decades. At this moment, all consultations take place through Zoom or over the telephone.
