I feel so lucky to be a part of this amazing dance community at Heartbeat House! Today we celebrated a Holi dance party organized by Jerod and Toni (Jerod has the best hip hop themed classes and Toni has the best Latin classes and I highly recommend them)!
I learned that Holi is the Hindu spring festival of colors in which you gleefully throw colors at each other!
“The festival has many purposes; most prominently, it celebrates the beginning of Spring. In 17th century literature, it was identified as a festival that celebrated agriculture, commemorated good spring harvests and the fertile land. Hindus believe it is a time of enjoying spring's abundant colours and saying farewell to winter. To many Hindus, Holi festivities mark the beginning of the new year as well as an occasion to reset and renew ruptured relationships, end conflicts and rid themselves of accumulated emotional impurities from the past.”-.

Two skate posts in a row! You’d really assume I can skate but I was told I look like Frankenstein tonight. I’ll take it!
Amazing unique event #glassskates put on by the @laphil complete with the music of @philipglass and whimsical puppets from @bobbakermarionettes
Thank you @violinicorn from @soundingpointla for this unforgettable invite! 🥰
Happy #internationalwomensday ! I shine, you shine, we shine together. Raised by a single woman, surrounded by aunties, I am so proud to have support in doing whatever I wanted to accomplish without feeling less than.
But misogyny is real in life, in the workplace, at home…especially in the entertainment industry. Why?
Regardless of your gender, I encourage you to continue showing up for one another and paving positive paths for the girls of the future (and everyone feeling “less than”).
Because, everyone deserves to feel “more than”!
I am so inspired by today’s #logiwomen’s special meeting with our new @logitech CEO Hanneke Faber! She said that women need sponsors, not just mentors; colleagues and people that go out to bat for us-push us to progress.
I feel grateful to have colleagues outside of my bubble to relate with and to share experiences with! Find women who support you and hold them close!

That’s all.
This comes a little late, but I am always humbled by the musicians I work with, whether performing alongside them, contracting them or supporting them in all aspects of my many musical roles as musician, contractor, account manager and music educator.
I am super proud of the horn section I contracted for @janellemonae ’s album Age of Pleasure that is nominated for Album of The Year AND best progressive R&B album. I have had the absolute honor to contract for, perform for, and record for Janelle, a human that I respect deeply. She leads a genuine life with art that reflects her own mantras, and she is always welcoming and kind.
Congrats to these dedicated musical magik weavers who worked on this album: @natewonderful@romangianarthur@sensei_bueno 🔥🔥🔥
Horns for tracks “Champagne Shit” and “Black Sugar Beach” were recorded by the talents of @calbennett4@ermnavarro@dennismitcheltree@sean_billings@serafinaguilarmusic
