What happens when your dream job disappears overnight?

In this first episode of Essence Embodied, I share the story of moving to Los Angeles at 17 to pursue a professional dance career—landing my first world tour and being fired on day two. What felt like rejection and failure ultimately redirected me toward dancing on the High School Musical tour directed by Kenny Ortega and a career more aligned with who I truly was.

A story about rejection, resilience, and trusting the unexpected turns of a creative career.

Listen to Part 2 to hear how the job I was fired from also shaped my love story.
