MAJOR
As a young black girl born and raised in Canton, MS, all I have ever been surrounded by is majorette dance. The majorettes and the band are the heartbeat of the community, pushing out the pulse that lets us march in unison. Majorettes are the epitome of what every little black girl wanted to be: beautiful, fierce, confident, and the list goes on and on. My aunt was a majorette, my cousins were majorettes, and of course I became one too. My cousin and I danced on a team we created called the Princess Diamonds for 5-6 years, then she initiated another team called Dynamic Barbies, to which we danced together for a few more years. I initially thought my time with majorette would end after Dynamic Barbies, but come to find out, majorette dance would bring me to Hamburg, Germany for my first-ever international performance at
@kampnagel_hamburg . Being a part of MAJOR is such a full circle moment for me, and it feels amazing to combine passions of the past with passions of the present. Thank you
