zafa name

ZAFA a literary reference to the novel “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” by Junot Díaz.

Zafa is a powerful counterspell against fukú, the intergenerational curse of colonization. According to Díaz, fukú is “the perfect blend of bad luck mixed with mayhem that one could fall into or get thrown at by the biggest sorcerer: life.” Zafa is represented in the spirit of the golden mongoose, seen represented throughout our website and merch. ZAFA embraces the mythology of this counterspell, attempting to undo harm and promote the redemption of our minds, hearts, and land.
