Commercial Dance Program Developer, Dance Recruitment, & Lecturer

Biography

I'm storyteller, writer, educator, producer, and entrepreneur whose work is threaded in breaking barriers. As an educator and entrepreneur, I run Liberate Artists INC and Always, Enough Foundation. In continuing to utilize dance as the catalyst for change, I serve on the Intersectionality Committee for the International Association of Dance Medicine and Science, am a board member for Feel the Beat, and I serve as part of the Advisory Board for Choreographers Guild. I’ve most recently joined LMU Dance focusing on equitable commercial dance practices and recruitment as the Commercial Dance Program Developer, Director of Senior Industry Showcase, & Lecturer. In addition to my work in dance, I am the founder and executive producer of Boundary Issues Media. Boundary Issues Media is a digital and traditional media company that utilizes multiple platforms to tell one story or topic through the lens of underrepresented identities. From storyteller to educator to entrepreneur to producer, I inspire all to create positive change, in the positions in which folks hold power, while continuing to remind communities everywhere that, "You Are Enough," exactly as you are, in the skin and body you are in.”

“Traditionally, people from marginalized backgrounds have been told they can only be in certain roles or pieces. Through the decolonization of dance, we can build a new generation of decision makers who think about dance in different ways."
