Compare and despair
Grappling with social justice issues through art
Important that you use your voice
Meaning of life is to love
Creativity is an expression of love so we must use our voice and platform to confort social justice issues
Dance is my soul manifesting whatever is on the inside of me and my body just follows
Dance is connectivity
Dance is a way of releasing into the world what is on the inside.
Writers block doesn’t exisit, you just need to do something else.
Cutting dead things so you can allow other things to grow.
If it was doing more to me than for me, then it had to go
Making a habit of saying no
You only have one life
Life is not happening to us
We are responsible for how we react
Go with your passion
Find something that makes your heart sing and grab ahold of it.
