"To be an artist you must embrace both ambiguity and change. If you are unwilling or unable to this, your career as an artist will be short lived or extremely annoying. Both are your choice." -Safi A.

I'm so proud of myself for the leadership I've demonstrated once our dance NGO received Special Consultative Status at the @unitednations . 🌍 As an executive of H+ for over a decade, the core value I have stuck by is recognizing that every communication exchange is an opportunity to teach someone about what I represent, Hip-Hop (the culture), Hip-Hop Dance, being a guest in it, etc. When you meet with potential sponsors, clients, partners, donors, whomever, don't just focus on sealing the deal at whatever cost. Ensure they understand that engaging with a culture requires an active approach and certain knowledge base to build a long-term, relationship. Do right by your art form. Remember, it can't speak for itself. You are the advocate! ✊✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿 Do you appreciate me and the work I do? Thank you! 🙏 Me too. 🤣 💸Consider making a donation to H+ so my team and I can continue supporting the NYC dance community with free services and resources! 💗 🔗 Link in bio to donate NOW! I'll be celebrating through the week! 🎉 Doh Jeh ("thank you, in Cantonese). #dancengo #danceexecutive #asianleaders #asianwomeninbusiness #nycdancers #dancersofinstagram #nyc #hiphop (at H+ The Hip-Hop Dance Conservatory) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZIIvvtv3a6/?utm_medium=tumblr

"There must be a purity relative to movement. Movement purity requires honesty. Honest articulation and assessment of movement informs its authenticity. It's not about "feeling" honest as most dancers think, but more about being empirically reflective and being truthful in your self assessment in order to effectuate positive change within your limbic system. This leads to individual growth as a dancer. Which then allows you to lead the charge as a vanguard of truth within our art-form. Not through words alone, but through action. Your very presence within the art-form creates an aura of truth, and with it comes a silent request to follow suit. If this is your impact you have done well and you have contributed to dance in an honest and spellbinding way." -Safi A.
