THIS DOCUMENTARY GIVES HOMAGE AND RESPECT TO GOD ,ANCESTORS (EGUN), ORISHAS, KATHERINE DUNHAM, PEARL PRIMUS, AND THE YORUBA TRADITIONS. MY ORIGINAL WORK WHEN WE WERE PHYSICALLY TOGETHER COMES FROM A PLACE OF A WOMAN CLEANSING TO BECOME A PRIESTESS WITH THE HELP OF OLODUMARE (GOD), EGUN (ANCESTORS), AND THE ORISHAS STANDING BY HER SIDE TO GUIDE HER THROUGH LIFE'S JOURNEY. REFLECTING THE STORYLINE, MY CAST AND I REALIZED THAT WE ARE ALL GOING THROUGH THE SAME UPS AND DOWNS IN THE TIME OF COVID-19 AND HOW IT HAS AFFECTED MANY UNFORTUNATE EVENTS IN OUR LIVES. WE ARE FOCUSING ON HEALING FROM THE LOSS OF WHAT WAS PRECIOUS TO US AND HOW BECOMING HOLISTIC WITHIN OUR PRACTICES IMPACTS ME AND MY FELLOW DANCERS THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD OF TRANSFORMATION. AS AN ARTIST, IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO BECOME A LEADER AND TO USE MY HUMANITY TO HELP OTHERS DEEPEN CONNECTIONS TO THEMSELVES AND TO THE DIVINE.
