On the morning of Friday, May 23rd, our beloved was welcomed back home in the warm embrace of his ancestors.
Light, peace and progress to the spirit of our rock, Sacha Sebastian Jenkins: dearest husband, friend, father and grandfather. He was 53.
He is survived by his wife, son, daughter, and grandson.
We will miss you.

Mother. Grandmother. Matriarch. Madrina. Community Fixture. An embodiment of resilience, of love, of belonging, of home.
This fall, I had the opportunity to interview La única @tonitasny for @nuevayorkinos, in anticipation of the @adidasoriginal x @badbunnypr drop.
To sit with and talk to a woman whose life and legacy is one that’s been a constant source of inspiration. Someone whose work has laid the foundation for mine.
From Juncos to Los Sures to the world. Creating sacred spaces and safe havens for those on the borderlands of society.
For generations, Puerto Rican culture has traveled far beyond the island, carried by the people who preserve it, share it, and find new ways to express it. From Toñita’s decades-long commitment to creating a home for her community in Los Sures to Bad Bunny’s continued celebration of Puerto Rican identity on a global stage, both reflect the power of culture to bring people together.
With adidas Originals and BadBo, that spirit lives on through a shared belief that culture, self-expression, and belonging are for todos.

Maferefun Eggun. It’s been a month and I’m still overjoyed from having joined BLACK DISCOURSE (@zionestrada) to produce such meaningful work.
The first images are from the opening of @1800happybirthday at The Plaza at 300 Ashland on October 6. The evening opened with a performance by @samorapinderhughes and @healingprojectsound with new pieces made for the project, followed by a reception @mocada_musem.
The last images are from Eric Garner’s 56th heavenly birthday. To honor his memory, we hosted a celebration at Tompkinsville Park in Staten Island in collaboration with his mother Gwen Carr, Eric Garner’s family, The E.R.I.C. Initiative Foundation, Staten Island Urban Center and NYC Parks. To support the work of the @ericinitiativefoundation, make a donation via their website.
Created by Mohammad Gorjestani @mohammad.earth 1-800 Happy Birthday is a multimedia voicemail project honoring Black and Brown lives lost to police and systemic violence.
Both 1-800 Happy Birthday phone booths are open to the public 24 hours a day through December 1. Stop by, pick up the phone, and listen.

This Thursday, I’ll be lending my voice to the Center for Puerto Rican Studies’ (@centropr) Diasporican Cultural Summit’s on the Digital Spheres Social Media and other non-academic outlets panel.
A space examining the growing role of social media and other non-traditional academic platforms as critical spaces for cultural discourse, research dissemination, and public knowledge production.
The conversation will explore strategies for producing accessible yet rigorous cultural content while navigating questions of audience, credibility, representation, and the democratization of knowledge in digital spaces.

Last month, we collaborated with The Brooklyn Circus (@thebkcircus) to venerate the spirit of Pierre Damas Bel.
20-year-old Bel arrived in the U.S. from Haiti in 2024. He graduated from his high school in Springfield, Ohio, this year with honors. A son. A soccer player. An active ROTC member. He had recently started college at Wright State University.
Bel took his life, a choice motivated by the loss of temporary protected status or TPS for so many Haitian immigrants earlier this summer.
Several weeks prior, Bel had shared on Instagram that ICE had placed a GPS monitor on his ankle. He wrote that he was, quote, “carrying a feeling of shame and humiliation that I never imagined I would experience.”
In honor of Bel, we built a living altar where we invited passersby to sit and reflect on his death and the political landscape we find ourselves in today.
In solidarity with Ayiti and its diaspora, we continue to speak his name and help his family raise funds to navigate this tremendous loss.
Join us this Saturday, where we’ll build bridges, not borders.

This Saturday, I’ll be in conversation with @paula_duran of @wellnessforthepeoplefoundation at the Wellness For The People Festival 2026, talking all things memory, belonging, and preservation.
About remembrance as a form of reclaiming our wellbeing and understanding who we truly are. About understanding our past so we can write our present and future. About holding on to what grounds us and releasing what we no longer want to carry forward.
Come gather. Come listen. Come remember.

To relatives and ancestors past, present and future. To all from the unceded lands of Lenapaehoking. To all Eastern Algonquin (Mahican of the upper Hudson Valley, and the Montauk, Shinnecock, and Unkechaug of eastern Long Island) relatives and ancestors past, present and future. To all Haudenosaunee (Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca Nations), Abenaki, Arikara, Erie, Tonawanda, Tuscarora, and Wenro relatives and ancestors past, present, and future. To my ancestral homelands of Weckquaesgeek, Powhatan, Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape, and Ciguayo territories. To all Indigenous folks in cities, whose indigeneity is constantly challenged. To all Black Indigenous peoples who stand firm in our identities despite racism and antiblackness. To all Native peoples fighting for the land, for the water, for the air on reservations across Turtle Island. To all learning and unlearning colonial narratives. To all learning uncolonized tongues. To 2spirit folk, who some of Creator’s holiest. To Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2spirit peoples. Whose families haven’t had closure. Whose souls still wander. To the babies who lost their lives at boarding schools, and to the families who are still healing. To those advocating Earthside that their relatives, our collective relatives, find justice. To all the aunties, the beaders, the braiders, the weavers. To those passing recipes down to the next generation. To those honoring the seven generations past and living in alignment for the seven generations, future. To those sowing seeds and tending to the land. To stewards of culture. To the drum and the singer. To war cries and round dances. To intertribal and frybread. To concho belts and hides. To rocking your plumes and rocking your moccs. To those who do, for those who couldn’t and still can’t.
Offering care, gratitude, love, and respect for the land, the water, and the legacies of all Indigenous peoples to the state of present-day New York, Turtle Island, and the world.

The Holding Circle: A Space to Remember, Grieve & Be Held 🫂
This October, in recognition of Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month, I’m joining @MamaGlow as they invite mothers, parents, and families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss to “The Holding Circle,” an intimate, community-centered retreat created to honor grief, remembrance, and the many emotions that can accompany reproductive loss.
Reproductive health encompasses every part of the reproductive journey – including loss. Every pregnancy matters. And every experience of loss deserves tenderness, care, remembrance, and community.
What We’ll Experience
Throughout the afternoon, participants will be invited into a series of gentle practices designed to support connection and care:
⭐️ Opening and closing meditation and grounding
⭐️ Facilitated group counseling and emotional support
⭐️ Reflective journaling and paired sharing
⭐️ A collective remembrance practice honoring pregnancies and lives lost, facilitated by me
⭐️ Quiet space for reflection, rest, and community connection
⭐️ A nourishing shared meal
⭐️ Take-home resources for continued care
Retreat Details
📆 Saturday, October 10 | 12:00-4:00 PM
📍 The Soft Space (@thesoftspace.bk), Williamsburg, Brooklyn
🙏🏽 Free Community Offering | Application Required
The Facilitators
✨ Marjorie Vail, MA, MEd, MS, MHC-LP - PUSH for Empowered Pregnancy | Group Counseling Facilitator
✨ @dorakamau - Lead Mindfulness Teacher, Headspace | Opening & Closing Meditation
✨ Myself — Founder, @blkthen_ | Remembrance Practice
If you have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or another form of reproductive loss, The Holding Circle is a space for you.
There is nothing you need to prove here, and nothing you need to have figured out. You are welcome to be held in community.

Adornos: Jewelry, Memory & What We Pass Down
The latest exhibition I curated celebrating @greenwichstjewelers’ 50th anniversary, using archival family photography to explore how jewelry acts as a vessel for culture and identity across generations of Latine and Caribbean New Yorkers.
Jewelry is a cornerstone of our community. The way we adorn ourselves, the care we put into passing down heirlooms, the memories that come with buying our first rings or chains, earrings or bracelets. As Black, Latine, Caribbean, Indigenous folks, our relationship with jewelry is one of pride, ancestral memory, and veneration. It’s a language of cultural survival and empowerment. Maferefun Ochun, Yemaya, Oba.
Partnering with Greenwich St. Jewelers for their 50th anniversary serves as a reminder of jewelry, its legacy, and lasting impact.
Thank you so much to the entire GST Team, @titisnyc, @manuelitamusic, and mi cariño @stoneblu for making this so special.
