I am so grateful for Kendra Kimbrough Barnes and KKDE for the opportunity to create this  choreopoem/rtiual. To say the least, ReD zONE was the hardest piece of art I have created to date.  Through this piece I transmuted my own experiences with sexual assault into an awareness that JOY is always mine... but alchemy is never painless.  I experienced all of the pain that we fear when starring down our trauma.  Rage, frustration, anger.... I gain HELLA weight.... I smoked HELLA weed....I cried and then couldn't cry anymore but I didn't stop.  I cannot be more proud of myself for taking this journey.... I was indeed a ritual.  one that I never intend to perform again.  Please watch and share
