this piece is a starting place
this is a beginning that does not seek an end
but instead a beyond.
lately, i have been curious how we can move with
a radical openness where movement becomes
a vehicle to mobilize resilience,
transformation, and defiance
this is a dance that takes place
on fertile ground where each breath,
step, and gesture become interconnected
and we begin to reimagine the world
together through each other,
our identities, and our histories
in this dance, we begin again,
and again, and again—
because each beginning holds
within it the possibility of another
