Mi padre siempre me ha enseñado, "si no sabes de dónde vienes como vas a saber para dónde vas!" If you don't know where you come from how will you know where you're headed. Our history. Our story. Who we are is more than what we have been taught to believe. We must always search, question and share what we discover. Join us for a beautiful community event and special screening of @afrolatinostv at @motthavenbar this Saturday 4:00pm - 8:00pm. Please share. #repost Get your tickets and join us for multi-sensory excursion of all things AfroLatino! • cocktail hour • live music • awesome giveaways • great food Come celebrate with us! ___________________ Hit the link in the bio #thelivesofmen #afrolatinosfilm #boricua #latina #latin #latino #Africa #NYC #Film #Bronx #afrolatina #afrolatino #culture #Diaspora #documentary #Spanish #lifestyle #community #Television #Party #BlackLivesMatter #melanin #dominicanrepublic #dominican #puertorico #cuba #africandiaspora #maferefuneggun #maferefunoggun #afrolatinx #afrolatina (at West Bronx, Bronx, New York)

“Te hecharon mal de ojo!” In my culture this belief that someone has wished you the evil eye is something passed on to us from birth. Our mothers were warned to watch-out for the evil eye. How does this play out as adults? It manifests as envy, jealousy and people truly wishing you ill intent. I was raised to protect myself. I was taught all kinds of superstitious beliefs like always carrying a dollar in my purse so I’d never be broke, putting a black fist around the ankle of a newborn to protect them from illness, envy, mal de ojo, or wearing red around my wrist to ward off the evil eye... the evil eye was the one superstition that as I get older resonates the most. There truly exist people who wish others ill—who wish babies ill. As a child I didn’t believe anything the elders were teaching me, I found it humorous. I didn’t believe in the power that these beliefs possessed. I didn’t know that the mysteries were also a way of preserving our history, our story and protecting those we love. Superstitions, omens, possession, beliefs, old wives tales, fukú, ásabache amulets, resguardos all things I was raised with and now observe closely as warnings and as spiritual guidance to having a good life and ward off evil spirits. . . . What are some origen stories, superstitions or beliefs your grew up observing? What do you carry for protection? . . .

Happy 49th Birthday ALICIA!!!! No long post. On this day I’m thinking about all those who ride for me and love me. I’m grateful for those who know my soul and feel my intention. Thank you to everyone in my life who has added value and thank you to those who knew your season was up. I have learned so much. May this year bring me every dream I have worked my ass off for. Aché happy birthday to me. #leoseason #maferefunoggun #maferefunoya #maferefunegun @amazonesque aché. Te amo thank you for my armor. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDHQjwVjwL3/?igshid=19ww3evo60q5k

I don’t believe in coincidences. My eggun put me exactly where I need to be at any given moment. Right now I am only thinking about TWO things: Primero, some of you are about to face quite the battle. You in for the fight of your life. By battle I mean you feel like there are forces against you. You believe people are throwing mad hate and shade your way. That’s because they are. So let’s go! Let’s battle! I’m about to make a brand new batch of spiritual oils and baths that I am calling Don’t FCK With Me! 🧿 I am selling them for $10 because I know you need it! DM me or email me to put in your order. Link in bio 👆🏾 and the second thing I’m thinking about is 2) You picked the wrong one! 🌪⚒🔪⚖️⚙️🔨⚔️🗡⛏🔩🛠🔨 #maferefuneggun #maferefunobatala #maferefunoshun #maferefunoggun #maferefunoya (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cB9RuD72b/?igshid=swrxe9u4bezs

For me my brujería is the definition of syncretism, the mixing and merging of religious and spiritual beliefs. My brujería is about decolonization, it is my liberation from Catholicism and the reclaiming of my African religions that I am connected to through my ancestors, santeria, division 21 y vudu dominicano. Brujería gets such a bad rap, it is over simplified as this thing done to us by our enemies.

What were you taught about brujería? 🌪⚔️🔨🗡⛏⚒🔧⚙️🛠🔩⛓ #maferefuneggun #maferefunellegua #maferefunoggun #maferefunoya #lasantera #brujarituals #cowriereading #loscaracoles #tarotreading #tarotreader #spiritualreading #spiritualcleansing #spiritualawakening #brujeria #santeria #21division #vududominicano #dominicanvoodoo #eggun (at West Bronx, Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/_lasantera/p/BwmplPqAdEZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lic6r3g4yg85
