*Work in progress*
I think we as creatives donāt take enough time to share our progress, our stuck moments, our oopsies
Social media is so groomed with the FINAL product, the neatly put together photo, the joyous after-the-fact celebrationsā¦and thereās much much more to that story
So here I am sharing something Iām working on with full recognition that itās a long way from finished
This is part of a dream sequence that will appear in my 2nd ritual play, Healing the Broken Heart
Ori is at a crossroads and goes into his dream for some guidance where he is shown a vision of him as the avatar
Iām super proud of what Iāve created so far
&& after hours of creative play on this, I need some distance.
What creative projects are you currently working on?
If nothing, what kind of support do you need to get going?
Creativity is our life force
If youāre feeling dead, lost, exhausted, apathetic, stressedā¦try dabbling into your creativity and see what happens.

LOVE in these Techn0 Auth0ritarian times
Sheās distorted, blurred, confused
Summoned for expected utility
Discarded when it seems that wordsmithing will prevail
And yet he shows up.
He arrives with feathers
perches on the soul
And lays down that falsetto until the body relaxes
They Preach sermons about how each and everyone one of us needs each other
They Dispel hate and tend to the wounds of hope.
They break down barriers, walls, lines
To remind us of our shared humanity
In the dark of the night, the light of love will always shine your way
š§”Venus Love Me Chain
May the chains that bind us away from eachother be shattered āļøāš„

š„Fighting 4 Love, Kunt Fu Dance, 2026 Gay Games in Valencia, Spain
I look forward to The Gay Olympics every 4 years, but this one was different
Too much had been going on months prior:
āļøāš„Body Broken
š®āšØSpirit Fatigued
š¢Emotions Rollercoastering
š¶āš«ļøMind Fogged
I wanted to cancel and stay home, but as the only board member of color who registered, I knew I needed to be in the room
I went into a deep meditation and rechoreographed the performance so that the movements would provide me with the healing I needed.
When the first note of the song dropped, a thought ran across my mindā¦.
āYou have nothing to prove. Youāve shown up. Let them love youā
The performance was far from what I know Iām capable of
&& I loved every second of it
I woke up the next day feeling hopeful that my life would change for the better. The waves of the beach kissed my skin and reminded me that I am love and that peace will always find me if I show up and allow myself to be seen.
The piece is called FIGHTING FOR LOVE and is my second time performing KUNT FU (Kung Fu + Queer Dance) for an audience. Itās my love letter to Choy Li Fut, Tai Chi, Bagua, Capoeira, and Vogue which taught me how to hold onto the frequency of love in these violent times.
Thank you @johannesjjpietsch for the sonic journey youāve taken me on

Full Moon in Taurus tried me
and I prevailed
I could have let my doubt stop me from finishing the last edits to my book
I could have let the crippling imposter syndrome stop me from sharing my research
I could have let my knee stop me from walking that ball
I could have let homophobic, racist microagressions hold me back from exploring the city
But I didnāt.
I trusted in my ancestors, my spiritual practices, my love of dance, my tribe.
And look what happened
šŖ¶Got through most of the final edits for my book that drops 11.11
šæ Met scholars I admire who are rooting for me and are genuinely excited about what I am adding to the field of Dance Studies
šŖ¶Made a few friends that my spirit had been longing for
šæStarted down a new spiritual path that feels soooo aligned
šGot my 10s at a ball while playing it safe so my knee could keep healing
But most importantly Iām starting to gain faith in myself and in humanity again. More on that later!

ON DOING MY BIG ONE
In elementary school, I was told to take special education classes because of my stutter
Butttttt I didnāt want to get separated from my friends
Kiddos on the playground would jokingly copy me when I stuttered my words
Buttttt I didnāt want them to know my feelings were hurt
So Iād laugh along and whisper to myself āone day, theyāll see what my voice can doā
I spent years training myself how to speak so my stutter wasnāt so obvious
šš¾thanks to my local bookstore for letting us sit there for hours reading between different booksšš¾
I learned how to meditate, calm myself, breathe, adjust tongue placement, replace words with synonyms that didnāt contain problem clusters
In middle school, I started learning languages and taking public speaking classes which are high pressure situations where my stutter would reemerge
I endured the laughs, the embarrassment, the shame knowing that one day āIāll show you how valuable Elle Woods could beā (iykyk)
I kept putting myself out there, meditating through discomfort, dancing through emotional distress
Decades later Iād be praised for how āgroundedā and āprofoundā I sounded.
I put the TEDx stage on my vision board and here we are. In this TEDx talk I reveal one of my biggest secrets: how watching movies saved my life
šš¾Pls watch, comment, share widely so the message can be heardšš¾
Iām grateful to now feel how valuable and powerful my voice is && Iām ready to share it with the world :)

My hobbies have helped me heal more than any therapist, a self help program, or spiritual guru.
Yes they can provide some tools but it is through our hobbies that we roll up our sleeves and do the work needed to heal.
Dancing through depression
Cooking through the grief of our lost loved one
Traveling through the anxiety
Singing through the sadness
The key is when we invite these emotions into our hobby, we give them a space to express themselves.
&& just like hanging out with a new acquaintance, the more you spend time with them the more you realize their quirks and triggers. The more you have compassion for them. The more you can be tender with them and learn from them
Our hobbies are that secret healing practice we all have access to.
Which hobby does it for you?

When I first realized I was depressed I was too embarrassed to tell anyone about it.
As I fought it in silence, I realized dance classes were a secret weapon where I wouldnāt have to trauma dump to feel better about myself.
These are the few dance classes that sharpened my skills for moving through depression and finding joy.
Itās beautiful how a 60-90min group class can really change things.
Which dance classes have been a godsend for you?

I thought I was a late bloomer
After graduating I imagined Iād go off and dance on massive stages, become an award winning athlete, travel the world with loved ones, and have so much money that I chose my meals without looking at the menu prices
Cause after graduating youāre supposed to have it all, right?
I saw my friends achieving their big dreams
&& I was stuck cooking budget meals,
dancing in my living room,
working so many hours that I had no energy to create
Thank you to my family and friends and loved ones who held me in hard times. Thank you to my top 5 movies for giving me courage. Thank you to my practices and teachers for feeding my spirit.
Iām closer to my dreams now than ever
Turns out so much can happen in a decade if you just tick with your gut and intuition
We donāt need to pressure ourselves to follow societyās timelines
Slow and steady wins the race, yeah?

Imagine knowing youāre qualified && still hearing no
People often see us as accomplished/decorated, baddies
And often forget to think about the heaps of rejection weāve faced
The charisma uniqueness and nerve I have is a result of the many times Iāve been rejected.
Itās thanks to my loved ones and spiritual practices that Iāve been able to pick myself back up time and time again
š¶if at first, you donāt succeed, dust yourself off and try it again
Iāve learned two big things about rejections
Rejections should not determine our self worth. We are valuable and beautiful with BOTH the yes and the no.
Rejections can feel like an end of a dream, but we have to dream another dream. If we stop dreaming, we conform to the systems that are trying to destroy us.

Perspective changes everything
Moving abroad could be bitter nightmare or a sweet dream depending on how you look at it
In fact, the outcome of any life transition is dependent upon how you look at it.
It might be hard to zoom out and see the various perspectives when youāre in the thick of it.
But practice makes peace :)
