Inspired

When you start to doubt your path or question the worthiness of your present;
Take yourself to the theater.
Last night, I had the privilege of watching two of my best friends perform in Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
The emotionally charged program filled my soul with sadness––looking back at the baggage of our ancestral history––whilst simultaneously inspiring hope among the culturally diverse audience.
Most importantly, I left the theater with a newfound sense of gratitude, for the men and women who used their horrifically, painful past to enlighten and remind us that we can do better.
The power of art is never lost on me.
