Becoming. ✨⬇️
I stood at a quiet crossroads, faced with the choice of slowly fading away or… becoming something. A friend said to me being nothing is not an option, and that’s when the word ‘becoming’ found me.
I did some research on what ‘becoming’ means and this is what I found. Becoming requires letting go what no longer serves you - whether it be people, things, situations, expectations, and old practices. It requires letting go negative self-talk, the need to be understood by those committed to misunderstanding you, timelines that were never yours, the habit of shrinking so others can feel comfortable, and the belief that growth must look graceful to count.
Now I have not figured out my personal definition for ‘becoming’ as yet - what I need to release and what I am ready to claim… but I’m working on it! 😊
So, for my birthday, drop a line about what ‘becoming’ means to you in 2026!✨
CARIFESTA XV, you were pure magic! 💫
My heart is full after witnessing such an incredible display of culture. Having sat on the administrative side this time, I got to see the passion, hard work, and dedication behind the scenes — and it has made me appreciate this festival even more.
Thank you to every dancer, choreographer, dance school, dance company, facilitator, technical and venue crew, every coordinator and of course “my team my team my team”, who made this an unforgettable celebration.
Sincerely,
Your Dance Coordinator 🇧🇧🫶🏾
