Story Retold by Kesha Christie
Description:
On the island of Borikén, now known as Puerto Rico, where waterfalls cascade into a serene pool surrounded by pomarosa trees, a timeless tale of forbidden love and transformation takes flight. In this episode, storyteller Kesha Christie retells the Taíno legend of The Hummingbird—a story of Alida, the chief’s daughter, and Taroo, a Carib warrior, whose love defied tribal boundaries. When fate tried to pull them apart, the gods intervened, and their love took root among the flowers and wings of the colibrí.
This soulful retelling weaves history, culture, and the enduring power of love into a story that continues to flutter through time. 🌺✨🕊️
