Quotes:
“It's not about moving like me, it's not about moving like the person next to you. But for me, it's about the freedom within movement and how that's where you can find yourself and lose yourself all at the same time..”
“I think that finding that tool for inclusivity and invitation is really important. I've learned so much from the children.”
“I'm a vessel. And I'm a translator, and I'm the best part of myself with kids.”
“Every moment is a make it or break it moment.”
“It's not about my agenda. It's about the purpose. It's about the inclusion. It's about the seeing myself in another.”
“For me, I've gauged in my life and my career on what I call mile markers of fear. A mile marker of fear is when you're about to do something that is so far outside of your comfort zone. ”
