The belt that became a portal

I bought this hand-beaded belt and the moment I wrapped it around my waist, a surprising feeling moved through me — I felt a sensation words can’t capture, but one that instantly connected me to a remembrance of my Taíno lineage. When I shared this with Kathi, the founder, she responded with a joyful laugh and told me that the people who created the hand-beaded fringe were the Emberá Chamí Nation of Colombia, who she said are Taíno descendants. A few days later, in one of Kathi’s workshops, I danced wearing the belt and experienced an incredibly clear understanding of why our ancestors adorned themselves — I began moving my body in ways I hadn’t before, yet that felt intrinsically natural. It was as if the belt became a portal, transporting me from the ordinary into an embodied experience of the Divine.
