MOSHOOD FASHION SHOW. PART 3: the People. The audience who attended the @moshoodofficial fashion show showed up and showed OUT in Brooklyn. It was a beautiful celebration of Black excellence in fashion and Black beauty among the Brothers and Sisters who attended the show.

Thank you @stepsacademynyc and @stepsonbroadway for the most magical, unforgettable two weeks in NYC. To live here, spend every day dancing in the epicenter of New York City’s professional dance community and to soak up so many of the experiences that make NYC the greatest city in the world was truly my dream come true ✨💫⭐️

To the faculty - Thank you for your brilliance, your energy, your creativity and for wholeheartedly pouring yourselves into to all of us. I will never forget this time

Returning to Portland inspired, enthused and with a cup overflowing with gratitude. New York City - save my spot! I cannot wait to come back ❤️🗽

Last performance with the academy🌀…

I came to this crazy city feeling completely lost, trapped in between, with no place to belong and no understanding of who I was. I became the person I am today because of all of you, because of your authenticity and the love I received from every single one of you.💐

I didn’t only learn a new language, but the sense of community and a big family who always stands by me if I need it while we do what I love the most, dance.💕🪩💃

For the past two years, my life revolved around Steps. It gave me a purpose and a home. It gave me what I feel I had always been searching for, and finally, I found it.

I feel incredibly grateful that I ended up in that building above a supermarket. Steps changed my life forever, and it will always own a huge piece of my heart.

Thank you for everything guys.

You are the only friend I need❤️‍🩹
