<div>Dear Supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am thrilled to announce a significant milestone in my musical journey. while in the final stages of completing my album, I am envisioning a healing and transformative live experience of "Journey to Rebirth" in Los Angeles January 2026
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>STORY BEHIND 'JOURNEY TO REBIRTH'</strong>
</div>
<div>Life has been hard on many of us the past few years in a way that is difficult to sum up in words. While many of us struggled in our own ways, as a composer, music played a pinnacle role in processing through the challenges I faced while battling cancer. While the music of Journey to Rebirth captures the raw emotions felt through my own personal journey through cancer, it offers the opportunity to share a story to which many of us can relate. A story of love, beauty, strength, and growth in the face of adversity.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My hope is that by sharing my experiences through music, each of us are able to connect with the unspoken struggle and triumph in our own personal journeys, understand that we are not alone, and truly feel what it means to be human.

<div><strong>MY STORY</strong>
</div>
<div>I am Layla, a cancer survivor and warrior who found solace and healing through music during my journey with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Music became my refuge, offering an outlet to process the intense emotions that accompany facing unimaginable circumstances, a shared experience for many people and their loved ones.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Amidst the isolation of my cancer journey, the piano became my sanctuary. Composing music acted as my medicine- allowing me to tune into my body and bring to the surface deep layers of my unconscious. Through improvisation, it opened my heart, revealing my blindspots and shining a light to areas in my life that was asking for my loving attention. The music held me as I walked a path through my greatest fears, offering courage through deep listening, and cultivating faith and trust in the process as I found myself reconnecting to the essence of who I am beyond the confines of my story.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Journey to Rebirth draws inspiration from the profound love I have for my son, who gave me the gift to experience life through the lens of a young child's innocence -a place where I found myself healing in the presence of play, connection, and reawakening my soul's calling.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recognizing the transformative power of the music in my life, I believe Journey to Rebirth serves a greater purpose to be shared with the world. I invite you to join me in bringing Journey to Rebirth to life through a live immersive concert. By bringing together music, visual arts, dance, and healing modalities, we will embark on a musical journey of love, loss, isolation, self-discovery, awakening, and rebirth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contribution will not only make this vision a reality but will also help others feel more connected with themselves and each other through the transformative power of music. Please help me in sharing this gofundme with friends and family and help me to achieve my goal!
