My
Artistic Statement.

As a black female millenial dance artist, educator, and activist, my mission is to reimagine and recreate a revolutionized, sustainable, and abundant dance making economy. I am committed to discovering new modes of human storytelling through the body from the lens of radical inquiry, equity, and representation. In combining my interdisciplinary art making process with yogic study and practice, my goal is to help rebuild our global community from a foundation of healing and transformation.
