About | Bejucos - Mama Juanita

Where History Meets Identity

Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County, California, Enyie’s early aversion to history transformed into a passionate quest for family heritage. She discovered the profound significance of understanding ancestry and cultural roots. Her interest developed into the complexities of pre-colonial and colonial history, recognizing how the Renaissance catalyzed a fusion of traditional native practices and Spanish influence that resonates today.

A Scholar of Culture

With a background enriched by her Cuban heritage and Dominican citizenship, Enyie holds a Master’s degree in Public Health (MPH), equipping her with a unique perspective on the importance of individual well-being and cultural identity. She believes in the power of education and shared heritage, which fosters a connection with a shared sense of identity.

Through Bejucos, Enyie reintroduces a cherished Dominican foundation and champions the preservation of cultural narratives that shape our understanding of our native roots in every bottle.
