  • Society Inspired Episode #29: Why Love is Important in All Communities

    i wanted to create a different kind of episode for pride month. i thought i would ask my fellow dance/activists friends while on set for filming my second dance concept video why love is important in all communities in the world. happy pride month everyone!๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

    i think love is important because we really all are one. we are all equally the same, equally as important; being able to sympathize with humans facing any injustice is simple humanity. showing love is the only answer!๐Ÿ’—
