Growing up in the vibrant and diverse community of Alief, Texas, I was immersed in a rich cultural tapestry that shaped my artistic journey and fueled my passion for dance and storytelling. […] At the core of my work is my teaching pedagogy, Xpress VIBE, where we provide performances, workshops, and educational programs that emphasize the power of self-expression through hip-hop culture and street dance styles. Our services are designed to address the need for creative outlets in communities, particularly for young people of color and/ or any marginalized audiences who often find their voices stifled or overlooked. We aim to create spaces where individuals can explore and express their emotions through dance, storytelling, and other art forms. Currently, I employ my teaching pedagogy in my courses at Salem State University as a newly appointed associate professor of dance in the Music & Dance Department at Salem State tasked with revitalizing and re-imagining the Hip Hop Concentration and what the focused major constitutes – street dance is a HUGE piece in the academic landscaping puzzle.” This program is funded by the Friends of the Malden Public Library.
