✨ I am a independent movement & performance artist
with over a decade of experience, as well as a somatic and trauma-informed therapist. My path here has been nonlinear. I didn’t graduate high school on time, failed required coursework in community college, and later failed the Law & Ethics exam twice while completing my 3,000 supervised hours as an Associate Social Worker.
These experiences shape how I teach, facilitate, and care for others. They ground my work in patience, accessibility, and deep respect for learning curves, persistence, and rest. My practice weaves together dance, teaching, healing, public speaking, practitioner training, and creative storytelling to create playful, care-centered movement experiences across schools, community spaces, and grassroots organizations.
My approach centers youthfulness, imagination, whimsy, and leisure alongside discipline and care, drawing from Black feminist theory and practice, pleasure activism, and healing justice. I invite people to move, rest, and express without shame or pressure.
