Funding my dreams/Becoming my greatest self: As I write this I cry because God has "brought me a mighty long way." So far life has been a wonderful roller coaster that has included the ups and downs of a chronic autoimmune condition that recently forced me to have a liver transplant. This condition caused me internal bleeding and four near death experiences. With these experiences on my heart, I have new vision. I was made to surrender to God and in that spirit I realize that I need help, and I can't wait. This conditions has had me emotionally and physically absent from almost all it is I do in life. But now that I've been blessed with this new liver, I feel like life is just getting started.
So what are my dreams? What are you actually funding? I am an artist! A poet, dancer, visual artist, and fashion creator. I am also a youth and community development professional who has created curriculum and facilitated workshops for children and adults. It is my prayer to marry these skills and become a force in these fields. But first ( and here is where you come in), I have to do the following:
•DANCE!!! After spending a total of 8 weeks in the hospital over a four month period, I am in need of total body reconditioning. This fund will help me pay for physisical thereapy, chiropractics, massage therapy, training and whatever else it will take to get me dancing again.
•Re-tool, Re-train, and Re-enter! Since I have not worked in five years, as with every profession, things have changed. Your contribution will also help me pay for classes and trainings that I will need, to bring myself up to speed with the language, practices, and regulations in non profit management, youth and community development and education.
•Create my brand. As I get healthier and re-develop my skills, I will also need to develop marketing and facilitation materials, including a website, for my workshops, curricula, and performances
•Since a child, I have written poetry. A life long goal, is to Publish a book of poetry and take it on tour. This tour will also be used to develop relationships in other markets, for my workshops and performances
•Not only do I have talent for writing, and dance, but I also have talent in fashion/art. I have several treatments for works that discuss topics like misogyny in hip hop, and being Black Female and American. Your contribution will help buy materials for the creation of these works and fashion to be put on display in art shows and galleries
•Medical Bills. Lastly, I am paying off my medical bills slowly but surely. I am also asking for help to pay off any outstanding bills once I return to a normal annual doctor visit schedule, which will be in July.
I am excited to embark upon a new life. A fresh start. My life would be empty without relationship. We are each holding each other up. God has blessed me with a family and a community that keeps me accountable, and challenges me to make strides toward awesomeness. I'd greatly appreciate your contribution toward these goals.
