I want to thank my mom and older sister for introducing the world of dance to me. Through being exposed to various styles and allowing me to enter an array of different dance environments, competitions, festivals, etc. I learned what it meant to be able to share something special with others and to do so confidently. Those at dance network in the hip-hop sector primarily, such as Bethany, Richard, Lauren, and others, thank you for giving me a sense of belonging, freedom and inner peace by accepting and pulling out an essence in me. Thank you for creating a similar environment at Channel Islands Thank you to Heather, Jade and others here for being aware of historical, political and social details in dance and for all the wonderful energy, vulnerability, choreography, and support that you give to me each night. It is because of people like you that dance, creativity, self expression, sharing, building community, enjoyment, freedom, and acceptance of my entire body, and with others is present.
