"We are committed to lifting people up wherever we are placed. We are fortunate to get opportunities to create educational & empowering spaces for all ages; may it be through music & movement with our youngest students, mentoring the youth for them to step up as young leaders, council circles with adults or Yoga & meditation classes with elders & families. 

"In a world that seems to be distancing itself from a Be Love mentality more and more everyday with corrupt, power hungry world leaders, genocides happening in our face and a total disregard for Mother Nature and the health of our planet, I hope to not feel jaded or helpless, even when it feels so difficult for one person to make a serious change nowadays. I want to maintain this sense of positivity and light and love for our neighbors, and for everyone, even when they don't share my beliefs."

"I BE LOVE in the world through my music—whether I’m singing for children and their families with My Radiant Heart Kids, encouraging self-love, acceptance, and connection, or with my new album Power and Grace, which reflects my healing journey of reclaiming my power by embracing and loving all parts of myself. The theme of self-love and acceptance gently weaves through all my songs and offerings, reminding us all of our inherent beauty and worth."

As a returned citizen serving 28 years in prison I have come to understand how my antisocial and impulsive choices led to drugs, violence, crime and incarceration. Because of my experiences as a child, I created a belief window principle that influenced how I saw the world and others. 

In 2016 I was introduced to the life changing potential of the Arts through four amazing Teaching Artists and the rest is history.

Today I see the reward of living healthy - mentally, spiritually, and physically. I’m going to leave you with a quote from Nipsey Hussle. “We got turned down, we failed, had setbacks, had to start over a lot of times. But we kept going at it. In anybody’s case that’s always the distinguishing factor."

"I BE LOVE by honoring the strength and beauty of my ancestors, by knowing where I stand in place and lineage, and passing down cultural knowledge, strength, resilience, and joy to the next generation.

I BE LOVE by using arts and wellness for social justice with Grown Women Dance Collective's projects: World class performances that teach and celebrate Black history, community arts and wellness classes, and our Joyful Movement Whole Life scholarship program. Celebrating culture and joy, helping break the cycle of intergenerational poverty, impacting health disparities in Black and Brown communities are all expressions of how we BE LOVE.

 I BE LOVE every moment that I work to create a world where we are all seen, honored, respected, and can thrive."
