REFLECTIONS
How does one step into sharing a culture that is not their own?
With honor, with humility, with deep respect. It's a path that calls for years of dedication and commitment, not just to the art, but to the people, the stories, the history, and the spirit that carries it.
It's a lifelong study, a devotion rooted in listening, learning, and showing up again and again. We do it not because we have to, but because something in the tradition speaks to us on a soul level. It awakens something within, reminding us of who we are and who we want to become. It inspires us to serve, to uplift, and to share, not to take, but to give back.
When we walk this path with sincerity, we become bridges. Through our work, others may find the courage to seek their own roots, their own voice.
