Back in 2009 I performed Dougla on Mr Mitchell birthday celebration on a Sunday matinee, for the first time, yes Baby Ingrid right there. What a full circle today I will be performing again at New York City Center in the principal role, as the Bride. I can’t explain how I feel, but one thing I know. I’m forever grateful for the opportunities life has been giving to me🙏🏽 #DanceTheatreOfHarlem (at Dance Theatre of Harlem)
