From TED Talks to national campaign speeches, I have always loved to use my voice to speak up for those who can't. However, when words fall short, dance has always been my second language. Through my favorite art form, I share my passion for dance as a tool for storytelling and advocacy, with a purpose that transcends language.

Inspired by the initial message behind Lady Gaga’s powerful ballad, Til it Happens, I serve as the lead in this group dance, conveying the powerful message of empathy for those who have experienced interpersonal violence. In a way that words can’t, this dance shares how we don’t know how it feels until “it happens to you.”
I am performing a lyrical dance to Andra Day's "Rise Up," inviting everyone to a journey with me through the struggles and triumphs that have shaped my life, while aiming to inspire each one of us to rise above adversity, to dream without limits, and to believe in the power of resilience as we rise up to our fullest potential.
