Last year I had a dream. I was taking photos of @ayajanes in an all white room for her yoga portfolio. Suddenly a woman asks me, why you Harlem shaking over there? I didn't have an answer. I walk over to a platform and started breakdancing. A group of young kids dressed in all white were surrounding me. Thanks to #deenaclemente who has been my b-girl healing momma passing down her knowledge and dedicating the time to teach me what she knows. Women supporting women no matter what. I got you and I dedicate the next few posts to you and the girl who pushed me to pursue my vision TYNI. Now I'm practicing a core element of hip-hop right in our hometown! The Bronx Somedays I MC at @livefromunderny, other days I take the mic and rock out lyrical chrome flavor for your ear because I've embodied the title of MC thanks to all those who paved the way before me. Sometimes I play my piano, and sometimes I pluck the strings of my guitar and channel a higher power. Some days I choose to read and other days I listen to the stories and tales of my elders, my Boogie Down Bronx OG'S and the veterans who inspire me. Are you a singer? Are you a dancer? Are you a human being? I hope this post influences you to embrace the differences of all around, including yourself. You have permission from god, and yourself to pursue any number of crafts you desire. As humans we are singers, dancers, creators, actors, comedians, writers, fighters, athletes. We can tap into all of these energies and pursue whatever we desire, to the point where you can gain revenue from these crafts and give back to the youth in your community. Give back to the world with you intentions and energy. Heal those in pain with love and what better tool to use than the arts? #thebronx #bronxarts #trueessencia #bgirl #bboy #bronxgirl #hiphop #southbronx #bronxinian #bxlivenyc (at Bxlive Studios)
