Since childhood I’ve been active in the performing arts and teaching others.  When my mom passed from preventable causes in 2009 however, my attention turned toward holistic living. It was then that I made a pact with myself to live a fulfilled and healthy lifestyle no matter what. 

 

I joined a radical womanist performance ensemble, where I could breathe, stretch and sing through my grief.   The power of this alternative healing space firmly planted my feet in the ground of holistic, creative and communal wellness practices. From that foundation, I began my spiritual seeking and exploring other practices like  mediation, massage, yoga talking circles, plant medicine, healing food and sound therapy.  Since that time, my art and general living has taken on an intentionality and foundation in wellness.  My wellness journey has also included transitioning my diet to primarily plant based foods,  incorporating regular enjoyable exercise into my lifestyle, working with a therapist and sharing my insights & skills with others.  I've done this work in schools, theaters, community centers, churches, recovery facilities, on the street and in the virtual space.

 

As a cultural organizer who has been working in arts & justice spaces since I was a teenager, I know that the work of evolution and revolution can be daunting and overwhelmingly serious work.  To be able to do that work day after day, year after year and be well, it is necessary to be able to release, make space and dream again.  I have found my purpose in creating, sharing, facilitating and space making to support us in releasing and dreaming again.
