Storyteller. A woman who can access the spirit of her teenage years. She’s fun, carefree, and likes to have a good time. She loves to hang with the fellas while remaining the cute, spunky girl she is. She’s taking us on a journey of new experiences. She’s aware of the power she has, but is learning - in real time- how to use it as she discovers a new level of sexuality. Street smart. She is learning how to heal when her powers fail.

Storyteller. Music and dance are her love language and what she holds so intimately. She grooves to “mambo, bomba, merengue’. She travels to the Bronx to dance and claims that space as her own. It is her 23 & me. She is a shapeshifter. A woman who does not like being told what to do. Left to make life changing decisions on her own, shame and bitterness are alive within her.

Storyteller. She is a woman who commands attention and takes up space- who embodies those she speaks of with great flexibility and ease. Her stories fill a lifetime.

Through healing, she accesses a newfound strength to navigate through life.
