When realms collide, a warrior rises to restore balance.
Tanama, the Afro-Caribbean guardian of Earth’s harmony.
Born in the lush heart of Haiti, Tanama is more than a superhero, she’s a living symbol of hope, culture, and environmental renewal.
Tanama
Her name means “Butterfly” in the Taíno language, a tribute to transformation and resilience. Once a humble farmer, she was reborn by the spirits of the trees to protect the balance between nature and humanity.Through comic books, animation, and community stories, Tanama inspires children and youth to rediscover their power, honor their roots, and heal the planet.
" Nature is wounded. The climate is changing too fast. I am ready to help but I can only do so if each of you helps as well. I pledge to plant, protect and learn how trees improve the environment. I pledge to support smallholder farmers who nourish our world.I pledge to promote gender equality so everyone can care for the Earth".
The Tanama Initiative is a growing social-impact ecosystem powered by Spider Whale Studios.We merge art, education, and environmental stewardship to inspire the next generation of Earth guardians.
