ending on 4 years and some change in this studio today

grateful for the windows, to dance with the clouds
the loud basketball court next door
FLOW and moments with friends and my community
birthday dance parties
grateful for creations that were birthed here
and walls that held process
that held love & exhaustion
burn out & frustrated tears
grateful to have grown here and to have committed to having space to explore, research, write, challenge myself
i am grateful for space & to create space
for keys and windows of new opportunities

🤍plexpod will be missed but im excited to continue to grow. challenge myself and find new spaces for opportunities, connection & creation. CLOUDS and I will continue to root into Kansas City & foster space. looking forward to the future, to the possibilities, to finding whats next. hopefully somewhere that will hold me for another 4 years

thank you to anyone who has joined me in these studios: in class, in process, in exploration, in a causal tuesday, or a birthday flow. thank you for being a part of my space & a part of moments that have held me & transformed me. i hope you will continue to join me where ever the path leads next ☁️ taken in Plexpod by @olivia_emert
