VAMOS HABLAR INGLÉS Podcast Episode 12: “Boy, Why You So Speechless?” In this deeply reflective Episode 12 of VAMOS HABLAR INGLÉS, I return to my August 2025 archives—thirty-seven handwritten journal pages, photos, and songs that document a season of rebuilding, release, and radical self-parenting. After the stillness of July, August erupted into motion: I entered film school, relocated across multiple homes, and restructured my creative and personal foundations from scratch. The Lion’s Gate Portal (8/8) became a spiritual mirror—a reminder that loyalty begins within. I wrote: “You need to learn to let go of the things that bring you pain. Let go of it. It’s not yours to carry anymore. You did a great job.” From there, music became my medicine. Cleo Sol’s “Know That You Are Loved” played just as I finished that journal entry, affirming that my healing was aligned with something larger than myself. This episode also revisits my relationship with breath, voice, and ancestry. I reflect on my mother’s presence in my dreams—how she once told me that singing is breathing, and breathing is living. It’s through these inherited lessons that I continue to heal the silence I was born into. Recorded in Kiskeya on October 12, 2025, exactly 532 years after the Taíno genocide, this episode transforms remembrance into reclamation. It’s both a love letter to my ancestors and an altar for every voice still learning how to breathe. ✨“Boy, Why You So Speechless?” invites listeners to confront what keeps them quiet, to release what they’ve been carrying, and to remember that their voice—no matter how trembling—is sacred.   New here?• About the Host: Reina CÁMO Basquiat Cemi’no—professionally LA REINA TAÍNA—is a visionary multidisciplinary artist and entrepreneur whose long career spans music production, filmmaking, choreography, scholarship, nonprofit leadership, and more.

Después del silencio de julio, agosto se convirtió en movimiento: comencé la escuela de cine, me mudé varias veces y reconstruí desde cero mis cimientos creativos y personales. El Portal del León (8/8) fue un espejo espiritual, un recordatorio de que la lealtad empieza por una misma. En ese momento escribí: “Necesitas aprender a soltar las cosas que te causan dolor. Suéltalas. Ya no te pertenecen. ¡Hiciste un gran trabajo!” A partir de ahí, la música se volvió mi medicina. La canción “Know That You Are Loved” de Cleo Sol comenzó a sonar justo cuando terminé esa entrada en mi diario, confirmando que mi proceso de sanación estaba alineado con algo más grande que yo.
