For over three decades, I have dedicated my life to the art of dance. My journey began at the Orlando School of Cultural Dance, where I discovered the beauty of African dance in 1993. Since then, I have been a part of esteemed dance companies such as the Kuumba Dance Company and Adefua Dance Company, expanding my knowledge and skills in West African dance under the guidance of masters. My passion for connecting communities to their cultural roots led me to establish a thriving community class that has flourished for 24 years. I have collaborated with local art organizations as a choreographer and instructor throughout my career. In 2006, I founded Epiphany Dance Collective. They continue to perform throughout the state as a professional adult West African dance company. As a graduate of Indiana University with a degree in Fine Arts, I have been a teaching artist with Arts For Learning for over a decade. Currently, I serve as an adjunct professor at Butler University, while also teaching at Believe High School and Rooted High School. My dedication to the arts and commitment to nurturing young talent continues to drive me as I partner with various arts organizations.
