Our Story

My mom and aunties taught us belly dance as a source of empowerment and healing growing up. Ours is a unique practice that's been passed down for generations in Central & East Africa.

I missed our community when I left for college, and started teaching it to people of all ages and backgrounds on campus. I dreamed of sharing it with the world—until a bullet stopped me in my tracks. I was shot in the leg with an assault rifle in a random attack at age 21.

My recovery was grueling, and even though I thought my dancing days were over, it was belly dance — with significant accommodations — that helped me recover, both physically and emotionally.

Now I share our practice as both a skillful, sensual dance, and as a way to rebuild passion, strength, resilience, and community—no matter what you've survived.
