I create art to feel, heal, and reconnect—turning my truth into something others can see, feel, and understand.

I create performance-based art that blends dance, storytelling, and music to explore the connection between body and soul. My work is rooted in real life experiences—especially womanhood, motherhood, healing, and identity. I love creating pieces that allow people to feel deeply, reconnect with themselves, and see their own stories reflected on stage.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my life, my body, and my spiritual journey. I’m inspired by moments of disconnection and reconnection, by nature, by music, and by the stories of women who navigate identity, love, and resilience. Even today, grounding myself in the earth reminded me that inspiration comes when I slow down and listen to myself.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in producing a live performance piece that explores the relationship between body and soul, bringing together dancers, musicians, and visual storytelling. The funding would support rehearsals, space rental, costumes, and fair pay for artists. My goal is to create a powerful, high-quality production that reaches and uplifts the community while opening doors for future opportunities.
