I am very honored to have spoken to Dr. El-Amin's Black Liberatoy Education course at Harvard University! I spoke on my experiences with Africentric learning vs. learning at predominantly white institutions. Thank you @victoriaennis_ for the invite☺️
Excerpts from this past January's IABD conference.
This was from the roundtable discussion Building African Diasporic Post-Secondary Dance Education, as part of @danceimmersion 's Connectively Moving Our Dance. It feels so beautiful to be seen and heard by elders in your community and the international dance community. I am very grateful to Miss Coco for inviting me to be part of this panel. And to Dance Immersion for creating this space. Cheers to more disruption!
An honour to speak alongside (in order from left to right)

Our B Active Ballet class with @moratalks from @gpowerd was a reminder that strength can look like joy, focus, and trying something new.
The ladies got out of their heads, into their bodies, and moved in a way that felt different. From first positions to first tries, it was all about moving without pressure.
Thanks to @moratalks for creating a safe space and experience worth coming back to.
Join the B Active community. Move with us.
