All my life I've been moving and grooving. I cant imagine not being able to share my love of dance and performing while breaking stereotypes

Thank you for supporting me in this competition. Your donations and participation will benefit the Why Not You Foundation in their mission to fight poverty through education initiatives that empower youth to lead with a why not you attitude.
My dance background includes technically trained in foundation styles of Jazz, contemporary, tap, ballet etc. My love of hip hop however stems from a whole other story of growing up and never fully being understood for my creative side. Movement was just one way that allowed me to feel capable in my own skin and truly learn to love myself. Over the years I've strived for continuous training to push past my comfort zone. Learning to reconnect with my mind, body and soul in the process.
There are no words! some that come to mind (life changing, magical, unfathomable, unrealistic, breaking stereotypes, seeing my younger self and how proud she'd be) It would honestly be a dream come true. Remembering growing up and always learning and dancing to music videos from Ciara, Missy Elliott, Chris Brown just to give a few. The opportunity would be incomparable.
What couldn't I do might be a better question. First, I would start with my family by trying to repay them for all the support, kindness and love they've given me on my journey.
