Yaya HoneyLove “Dancing is my medicine. When Idance, I transform allowing my ancestors to dance

through me, with me- to help heal. Dancing is my release,my way of giving thanks. Sweating with intentions formyself and those around me. I dance for our joy, the

releasing of all things stagnant, releasing of that heavy

feeling, abundance, love, transformation, power... I dancefor you, me, us.”
