Taína will visit with her mentor, Naniki Reyes Ocasio in Puerto Rico, who will offer resources and assistance to help in completing her book, Esclavos to Sun Bearers: Poetry, Recipes, Artwork and Prayers for the Health and Healing of Puertorriqueños (working title). This opportunity will focus on learning ancestral wisdom about food, herbs, nature, and the arts as mediums for healing to resist colonized ideas of culture and identity that still exist.
