LEADING

Current

  • Taking as inspiration Terri Lyne Carrington's movement "JAZZ WITHOUT PATRIARCHY," which centers the work of woman and nonbinary musicians to generate discourse around the ways jazz culture can be transformed to reflect true gender justice, "Jazz on a Women's Day" is an initiative that centers Philly women-identifying musicians and presents them on visible stages and accessible spaces throughout the city. Creative Philadelphia supported an April 2025 concert at Athletic Recreation Center which featured seven women in jazz at Athletic Recreation Center in North Philadelphia.

Past

  • I ran a dance studio in Brewerytown for ten years! From 2014-2024, Sound Space Performing Arts was the only urban dance conservatory of its kind in Philadelphia, with a principal focus on preserving and advancing percussive dance. It housed a children's program, an adult program, an artist residency program, and hosted performances, jams, master classes, community events and sliding-scale arts offerings in 19121. It started at a 600 foot warehouse space at 1525 North Bailey Street, then moved to 2511 West Girard Avenue and its last location was 1501 North 31st Street.
