Rafaela Luna Pizano gifts us the following gems:

"Tradition is a live and breathing being, always shifting and adapting and moving."

Faiakse'ea Dujon for inviting us to refeel and think about the way arts and dance hold and bridge such diverse body's of knowledge.

We appreciate your vulnerability in admitting that before dance "I had a limited way to express myself" and that dance and art was an outlet for to see yourself in a different way.

"Out of great oppression came this great expression of freedom" an alchemic growth edge perspective to mull on.

In the process of deconstructing Amanda Ratuki reminds us to be kind to our guilt and shame.

Being super mindful of the spray from your hurt that it does not burn others around you.

Amanda also invites us to challenging each other and everyone on how we think and act.

A little consideration goes a long way when you are in relationship and connection to a community.

Words are powerful, words have weight, words can make or break people and situations.
