This was an On Beat project, a collective I’m part of, comprised of artists and professionals who help underserved communities through charity, education, and artistic inspiration. Jay, Phannarith and I, with the help of Susan, Vanna, and Reuben, set up a linoleum in Dupont Circle on a Sunday afternoon. We brought with us bags, blankets, and socks [...]

Metro Status, dedicated to the Washington DC Metro area, the train system that gets us around everyday, and anyone who’s ever found themselves without a car and on metro status. This is just my way as a dancer and a musician to express my appreciation for the city that supports myself and other artists. Cover [...]
