🗣🗣🗣 We, the Caribeñas, would like to wish you a safe & Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃🎃 But MOST importantly we have a VERY important message loves
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾:
SANTERIA IS NOT WITCHCRAFT 🔮.
Many people are fearful of religions such as Santeria and Vodou since they equate the religion with practices of Witchcraft. Santeria is not Witchcraft. It is not the study of spells or using spells to harm or affect anyone else.
Anyone who thinks that Santeria can be used to keep a girlfriend, harm an enemy or win the lottery has not understood the principles of Santeria and is misguided. Santeria is about living the life that has been assigned to you the best way you possibly can.
Followers of Santeria may use various tools to protect themselves such as spiritual baths or the wearing of sacred Necklaces. They may use various herbs to cleanse or protect, or they may make offerings to their ancestors or to Orisha. That does not equate with Witchcraft.
We hope and pray you are having a SAFE & FUN-FILLED Halloween 👻 but please take a moment to scroll through our carefully-crafted slides above & swipe left to learn some amazing facts of our ancestors’ cultivation of Santeria. 📜👈🏾🔝
TAG 4 beautiful beings in the comments below that you share your religion with 🙏🏾✨🤎.

17/10/2020

Wait for it... 😂😂😂😂😂

CARIBEÑAS!! 🗣🗣🗣 To ALL our Caribbean sisters across the states!!!

THIS is NOT the time to remain silent, stagnant and undecided on who our next leaders will be for the next 4 years!!

To the naysayers that say our vote doesn’t matter, just take a moment and think about all the voter suppression currently happening to STOP us from exercising our RIGHT to have our voices heard!

Hit them polls early and hit em hard! Bring your squad and roll up deep!

Broadway World Exclusive (New York September 4, 2020) In celebration of the 20th year anniversary of the off-Broadway hit "Yo Soy Latina!" is back! Produced by the Caribeña Creatives, the play is going to premiere in a very new, accessible, and virtual way. As theatre audiences venture into yet another season of enduring something the world has never seen before, we can all take heart in this hilarious and insightful play and step out of a global pandemic, if just for an hour.

The powerhouse women behind the virtual production coined "digital theater" for your viewing pleasure are non other than Marilyn Camacho, founder and president of Caribeña Creatives and Anacaona Productions in Madrid, Spain headed by founder/president Vianessa Castaños. Caribeña Creatives is a new boutique production studio of multicultural women creatives dedicated to amplifying Caribbean voices and creating content that is dynamic, entertaining, and highlights the complex diversity of the Caribe and Latin Caribé experience.

Puerto Rican playwright, author and screenwriter Linda Nieves-Powell's funny, timely and powerful play challenges a group of diverse Latina women to examine their identity and connections in the recent American Landscape. The off-Broadway sensation originally produced in 2010, featured Golden Globes winner Gina Rodriguez. For its 2020 premiere, Linda has revamped it to reflect our current times, she says, "My intention in writing YO SOY LATINA! was to celebrate our diversity and our commonalities, it was a love letter to Latinas. I believe its longevity is due to the heart it wears on its sleeve and the issues that are still relevant in our communities." This new version will continue to open up the conversations regarding some of the present day issues of the Latina and Afro-Latina experience.

YO SOY LATINA! is a funny and moving play that challenges a group of diverse Latina women to examine their identity and their connections in the contemporary American landscape. The play's premise unites these women who come to share their individual anecdotes of living Latina in contemporary America. There is Migdalia, a Nuyorican, who experiences prejudice from her own family because of her in*******al marriage; Jennifer, a young Mexican-American college student who discovered her Chicana rights; Alicia, a Colombian actress who struggles with what keeps her from landing Latino roles because of the lightness of her skin; Maria Elena, a Panamanian, who faces inequity from other Latinos because of the darkness of her skin; Soledad, a Dominican mother who finds the courage to leave her machista husband in pursuit of her own dream; and Louisa, a Cuban-Irish who defends her right to be Latina.
