Born of a Wixáritari (Huichol) mother to a Taino father in the ruins of Tenochtitlan – at the heart of Mexico – Hakum radiates the essence of the great “feathered serpent” Quetzalcoatl. “Quetzal” being the essence of the bird which soars the skies and symbolizes the connection to the spiritual realm, and “Coatl” being the serpent representing the warrior… fierce in the name of revolutionary change! ...Read More
