Mind in Movement

Today, I have a conversation with Dr. Arnel Calvario, someone that brings so much light to the world and someone that I really look up to, and I am so grateful to have been able to connect with him. We talk about identity, putting people first, the history of the current dance team built in the collegiate system, and love-based conversation and how that is different from toxic positivity. He is the founder of Kaba Modern, President of Culture Shock, Doctor of Occupational Therapy, and created the Leadership Tools for the Dance Leader, an online program helping leaders realize their full potential. 

For each episode this season, I want to raise awareness + donate to activism organizations that contribute to a cause that these speakers are passionate about. This portion is dedicated to Ladies of Hip Hop. Ladies of Hip Hop is a nonprofit organization that provides artistic opportunities for girls & women in Hip-Hop culture. Ladies of Hip Hop also documents and preserves women's roles and presence within Hip Hop culture.

Today, I have a conversation with Danyel Moulton, someone that I really look up to and empowers so many others by being her most authentic and vulnerable self. We talk about what being authentic means, how to not seek validation, the creative process, and improving the dance community. Danyel Moulton is a dancer, choreographer, teacher in the SoCal community. She founded VMO and LFG as well as DCON4, an online dance program crafted to help dancers cultivate a safer & stronger dance community. 

For each episode this season, I want to raise awareness + donate to activism organizations that contribute to a cause that these speakers are passionate about.

Mind in Movement uses the combination of evidence-based science and storytelling to teach mindfulness through life. “Movement” represents dance, which also represents an aspect of life. Episodes will include solo episodes of me discussing psychology concepts and personal ideas. Episodes will also include conversations with people which dance has connected me with, and whose stories have inspired me to embrace my own humanity.
