You got to have friends!

The time Keith Haring painted Grace Jones for New Year’s Eve at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC, while Eartha Kitt watched in admiration in 1987.

STELLAR!!! 
Heather Headley takes on "Memory" from Cats and transforms it into something otherworldly. With her soaring power and soul-deep emotion, she doesn’t just perform — she inhabits every word.

From Broadway to concert halls, Heather’s voice reminds us that some performances aren’t just heard — they’re felt.

🌙✨ Press play and let every note wash over you like moonlight.

This should be obvious!

Send people positive energy, these days it takes courage, but I promise you someone will be sending it back. We cannot be the invisible people if we see each other.

Peace!

Tree of Life

“Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.” -Rūmī

You don’t owe permanence to every part of yourself that helped you survive. Letting go isn’t weakness... BUT...release is often seasonal.

Truth be told…

Until 55,000 years ago… there was only us.” Dr. Ivan Van Sertima reminds us that Black people are the origin of civilisation. Before the lies, before the erasure — we were first. This truth isn’t controversial; it’s revolutionary. Watch, learn, and reclaim our story.

Alvin Ailey

* * * *

"One of the processes of your life is to constantly break down that inferiority, to constantly reaffirm that I Am Somebody."

"To be who you are and become what you are capable of is the only goal worth living."

“There was still no likelihood that we could make a living from dance. We were doing it because we loved it... We realized how full we felt; we were surrounded by music and dancing and joy.”

"Dance is for everybody. I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people."

Alvin Ailey (Jan 5, 1931 – Dec 1, 1989)
