Thank you so much. I’m sorry that you didn’t have good experiences in dance and gymnastic growing up, I hope that you will create some awesome experiences now!
I have just started reading your work (found the link on Jezebel) and I think you are amazing – so confident, so thoughtful, so inspiring… and so BEAUTIFUL and POWERFUL in this photoshoot! Every one of your movements is infused with joy and intention. Thank you so much for your insightful thinking. You make my world bigger!
