In the past, I had incorporated dance and counseling to provide invaluable services to children, youth, and family residing in marginalized communities and Catholic Churches located in Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, and Miami Shores, Florida. I also wrote grand as well as tried to establish strong relationships with program officers, talked in person about the program, and invited them to even attend a performance or visit the community. I further had to sensitize people’s heart for those children and their families through advocacy so to convince program officers for their financial supports. I tried to give those children hope because generational destitution is all they mostly know, and thus having someone to believe in them set the tone for their success in life. I enjoy my career path of choice because it allows me to help nurture young talent, serve family, and encourage the pursuit of their creative dreams as well as to become productive members of society.
