This moment had me in tears. This is but a fragment of the life on la Isla that I have experienced ❤️🥹❤️🇵🇷 elders playing dominó. La casita. Piraguas. Coco fríos. Black outs. Selling oro y plata. Perreo. Living. Life.
Photos: Re-remembering. Guayama, PR 2008. Dominó, futbol, sancocho y familia. Some pictured, incluyendo mi papi and Carmelo, have joined the ancestors. Eternally blessed for these memories that reunites us para siempre.
Me and the OSU fam are movin’ with purpose this weekend—come see us in Ronald K. Brown’s Four Corners at the Spring Dance Concert!

To my WSU students:
Y’all are phenomenally exceptional.
You all have a little place in my heart for being so open to this experience.
We learned so much from each other in such a short amount of time and I will be forever grateful for this opportunity.
Keep growing and flowing! Felicidades to all the seniors, y’all did it! I can’t wait to see what’s next for all of you🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Shout out and complete gratitude to Master percussionist Baba Kamaal Amenra; he kept us jamming the whole semester!❤️❤️❤️
As for my next endeavors, I have committed to THE Ohio State University this fall and will be embarking on a journey to acquire my MFA in dance. I won’t be too far away so I will definitely come back to visit/teach when I can!
As the late and great Dr. Sherrill Berryman- Johnson always use to say “ the work continues…”❤️

That’s a wrap!
This past Sunday was the final show of John Cage’s Europeras 3 & 4 after an intense week of rehearsals. Huge acknowledgment to the stellar directors, crew, and cast for bringing this vision to life! Working with record players and the Victrola brought back waves of unknown nostalgia. Ready to dive back in and do it all over again! So much gratitude to Biba Bell @bellbiba for pushing me into the world of Opera—I love it here! Can’t wait for another opportunity to share the stage with you and Chris @itsjust4u 🫶🏾
