Let’s Make Conscious Movement

Black lives matter. What both Jazz and Hip Hop dance have in common is the level of abandon and freedom in the movement. These styles, created by Black lives, inspire us to make conscious movement.

#BlackLivesMatter – The awful frequency and impact of racism in the USA

To my white identifying siblings, we must do more. It's not enough to acknowledge the deep pain we have caused our Black siblings, Indigenous siblings, and all People of Color (BIPOC). The lynching of Ahmaud Arbery is not an anomaly, it's a constant reality and we need to do better. There never was an "other side" or "more to the story" and frankly, we have zero time or patience for anyone who refuses to acknowledge the demon of white supremacy.
