WELCOME TO LA REINA TAÍNA, LLC
Reclaiming creativity as survival, self-definition, and collective power.
Mission:
LA REINA TAÍNA, LLC exists to reclaim creativity as a tool of survival, self-definition, and collective power for BIPOC and QTBIPOC communities. Through client-based services, live performance, and cultural scholarship, we build pathways for self-expression that are unapologetic, ancestral, and liberatory.
Whether guiding clients through personal reinvention, performing one-woman stage productions that resurrect our buried histories, or cultivating future scholarship through Afro-Jotería research, we challenge the colonial lie that creativity is reserved for the elite.
We believe everyone is born a creative. Our work honors the everyday imaginers, the displaced truth-tellers, the spirit-led builders—and helps them bring their stories to life on their own terms.
Vision Statements:
“Creative Launchpad” (Flagship Division)
To become the premier space for BIPOC and QTBIPOC individuals ready to explore their creative potential and bring bold, personal projects to life, with professional support at every step. The Creative Launchpad is a client-based service division specializing in creative direction, project development, and execution. We provide trauma-informed counseling, story-driven branding, and hands-on guidance to help clients design and launch meaningful creative works—from concept to completion.
Our clients come to us with visions as diverse as they are: from stage performances and choreography instruction (in up to 15 styles of dance, including contemporary, hip-hop, Cumbia, Salsa, and Samba), to brand development, personal storytelling, and visual/media projects.
What makes a creative? Not just artists or musicians, but anyone with the courage to let go of perfectionism, break free from societal scripts, and follow their imagination. We reject the myth that creativity belongs only to professionals or the elite—a myth born from white supremacy, colonial hierarchies, and capitalist gatekeeping.
Our vision is to help clients reclaim authorship over their stories, style, and self-expression—beyond metrics, marketability, or anyone else's mold.
“LA REINA TAÍNA Live” (Performance Division)
LA REINA TAÍNA Live is the performance and music label division of LA REINA TAÍNA, LLC—anchored by the one-woman stage persona LA REINA TAÍNA, the Sasha Fierce of Ms. Reina CÁMO Basquiat Cemi’no. As a multidimensional artist, she writes, directs, produces, and performs full-length original works that blur the lines between ritual, rebellion, and resurrection.
Each production is an act of radical authorship—an offering to those erased, silenced, or sensationalized. In 2023, her breakout solo work C.T.C. blended spoken word, choreography, and theater to guide audiences through a three-act journey of self-interrogation and healing.
This year, The Autopsy of Joice Heth resurrects one of the earliest known victims of American spectacle: a Black woman enslaved and exhibited by P.T. Barnum. In this solo performance, LA REINA TAÍNA channels Joice Heth’s voice through rap, dance, poetry, and embodiment—reflecting on her own displacement as a Black, Taíno, Transgender woman living under the shadow of a second Trump presidency. The performance draws bold parallels between 19th-century captivity and today’s socio-political oppression, where Trans women of color face skyrocketing rates of homicide, homelessness, incarceration, and erasure.
Clients and venues may book LA REINA TAÍNA for full-length solo performances—such as The Autopsy of Joice Heth—or for single-song showcases of original works like “LUIGI.” and “TOCA CORAZÓN.”
Our vision is to turn performance into testimony—to transform the stage into sacred ground where memory speaks, power shifts, and survival becomes spectacle on our terms. Every spotlight, every lyric, every gesture becomes an act of spiritual and political defiance.
“Afro-Jotería Lab” (R&D Division)
To cultivate—from seed to sanctuary—the Association of Afro-Jotería Arts, Activism & Scholarship (AAJAAS): the world’s first academic and cultural institution devoted entirely to the Queer and Trans/2-Spirited intersections of Afro-Latinx, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-Indigenous peoples and their lived experiences.
AAJAAS is envisioned as a transcontinental hub for Afro-diasporic creativity, re-imagination, and decolonial scholarship—fusing Taíno ancestry, Black Quantum futurisms, and Trans/2-Spirited storytelling. We foster a living network of thinkers, healers, artivists, and community leaders who transform research into ritual.
We aim to redefine what scholarship can look like: embodied, performed, and unapologetically Black, Queer, and Taíno-Indigenous.
Public-facing offerings include the monthly VAMOS HABLAR INGLÉS podcast and a suite of three Trans* Conscious Leadership Workshops, each available for booking by organizations, institutions, or corporations. While the core research is internal, these programs offer the community a living window into the work behind AAJAAS. Our research, blogs, and podcasts manifest as real-time blueprints for this evolving legacy.

Why You’ll Want to Work with LA REINA TAÍNA, LLC
In an industry saturated with cookie-cutter creatives, Trans and QTBIPOC voices remain almost invisible—less than 0.5% of the U.S. population. When you hire me, you’re not just booking a service; you’re championing a trailblazing leader in trauma-informed, decolonial artistry. My lived experience as a queer, Trans Non-Binary woman infuses every consultation, storyboard, and performance with authenticity, ancestral wisdom, and cultural nuance.
Resilience in Action
As a first-generation, low-income, disabled, Black Indigenous Transgender woman, everything was stacked against me—yet I’ve still released 30 original songs, 2 albums, and dozens of videos in under three years, all while building the world’s first Afro-Jotería Lab.
Ivy League Tenacity
Earning my degree from an Ivy League institution as a first-gen student took grit, discipline, and visionary focus. That same rigor now powers your project, marrying academic excellence with radical creative practice.
A Unique Market Edge
Trans POC freelancers are a vanishingly small percentage of the talent pool. Investing in LA REINA TAÍNA, LLC means unlocking a perspective you simply can’t find elsewhere—one that makes your work resonate deeply and stand structurally apart.
Proven Track Record
From one-on-one reinvention sessions to sold-out performances, my clients know they’re getting more than “good enough.” They get transformative results that demand attention and drive change.
Reina’s life motto: “to re-imagine and challenge the ‘self’ via art.”
Choose LA REINA TAÍNA, LLC for exclusive experiences that advances excellence, amplifies marginalized narratives, and transforms your vision into work that delights, compels, and sets the gold standard of creativity.
