time with Marvin (1)

I don’t have the words to describe how or what Marvin’s music makes me feel.

🎥: a day in April (2023) when the pain was mild and a day before I got really sick
🎶: sixties medley (live) - Marvin Gaye

I was pulled to grad school to research epigenetic trauma through movement. I was pulled to epigenetics from my experiences in k-8 as an emotional & behavioral aide, my desire to understand this cellular connection and pull towards the 60s-70s (I am from a multigenerational family/ies & many multigenerational spaces), figuring out why I feel so deeply/intensely, & a desire for healing.

My dancing roots are spiritual & communal. I started at home, family gatherings, battle circles, playgrounds, backyards, parties, hand games, soul train lines, praise dance, church plays, &&&…

Then came everything else.
