BE ALIVE CAPSTONE
I am a Maryland native and currently a Level Nine Pre-Professional Ballerina at the Metropolitan Ballet Theatre and Academy and Brown Girls Do Ballet Ambassador, committed to helping reshape the classically Eurocentric art form of ballet to equitably reflect the diversity of America. I am also trained in Bollywood, Contemporary and Modern dance. I am an advocate for the voices that cannot be heard. I am a Changemaker in the dance community. Let’s reframe the narrative. Come dance with me!

RELEVÉ: WHAT’S IN MY BAG?
METROPOLITAN BALLET THEATRE & ACADEMY 501©3
As a Level Nine Pre-Professional Ballerina I assist in providing Big/Little Mentor services to our younger ballerinas in Class Exchanges, Letter Exchanges, Gift Exchanges, as well as fun movie and game night’s. All activities are geared to reinforce positive self-image and awareness for younger ballerinas.
Additionally, as an Inductee and Member of the National Honor Society for Dance Art I also actively serve my community by participating in events such as: Love Your Body Week, Community Service Performances at the Arts Barn, and Dance a Difference Week.
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BLACK DANCERS – MEMBER
The International Association of Blacks in Dance (IABD) preserves and promotes dance by people of African ancestry or origin, and assists and increases opportunities for artists in advocacy, audience development, education, funding, networking, performance, philosophical dialogue, and touring.
I am a proud member engaged in its existence for the next generation of Blacks in Dance.
MARYLAND SCHOOL OF DANCE
Selected to be Assistant Dance Instructor by the Founder & Director of Maryland School of Dance. I was responsible for helping with the demonstration and instruction of dance routines to ballerinas between the ages of 4 and 7.
I believe that my time spent with the younger ballerinas inspired them to be better dancers and gave me joy in being able to contribute to their growth.
