For all I’ve come across who chose to share their stories with me.
Thank you for giving me a window to transform into a powerful creator who shifts lives for all people experiencing and struggling with life’s challenges. The act and the art of performance, poetry, and artistic expression has become the motivator and the catalyst for me to create this Shift, as a means for healing through the expressive arts and as a way to understand both humanity and the journey towards resilience in my own life.
I am grateful for the opportunity to channel circumstances and expand my knowledge in the cross section between the arts and mental health.
To the mentors (those whom I’ve spoken to and listened to their guidance and to the ones I haven’t met who are no longer with us) thank you for inspiring my consciousness and empowering me to claim my hidden power as a source for healing and creative action, so that I may live this way and pass it onto others.
To Emotional Well-being and exploring all the parts of who you are. Such is like a beautiful butterfly unmasked coming out of its disguise from out of its cocoon Finally free from the glass that has tried to keep itself hidden from its true self. Become that. 🦋✨
