Progress looks like,
Taking time to celebrate the wins. Muscle memory is hard to build, and more often than not once I flip upside down, I forget what I’m doing.
Here’s to training my body so I don’t have to think.

Self-care also looks like adding calling your reps to your daily routine. Baddies use the 5calls app. Get it done quick and easy and apply pressure to our reps to do the best thing for the overall vibes. Stay resilient babes.

First H.O.T. go-go gig and we got tipped a lucky bill! We received an offer to dance every month, and this was only our first event together as team. I feel proud of the babes I’m dreaming and scheming with.

Celebrating making this life romantic, celebrating the love shared through community, celebrating the love I give to myself. I want to inspire resistance through joy, resistance through unapologetic living, resistance by loving hard and fierce.

All that Jazz choreography got me nostalgic for my stage days! I was heavy on the musicals since childhood. This brought me all the way into my Velma Kelly nostalgia.

Yes, it’s almost like a hairpin trigger to justify escalation. I’ve also noticed that people like to use “non-violent” communication approach as a manipulation tactic too. Almost confusing those they oppose with what seems like moral language. It’s dizzying.

My line of thought comes from dealing with a family member who says very inflammatory and prejudice remarks, and because reacting to them justifies their yelling, I’ve learned to deescalate my emotions and ask more questions to, in a way, put the spotlight on them. It’s effective.

Maybe even go so far as to provide resources to activism that is resilient because of making mistakes and holding our counterparts through learning rather than rejecting them?

Sometimes when I struggle with how to approach a conversation that could be difficult with someone, I ask clarifying questions. Especially, if it is having a negative impact. “What makes you say that?” “Why do you feel this is invalid vs that?”

The House of Tease presents their first feature on a flier! Santa Fe based burlesque baddies coming together to make the world a more silly and sexy place. Come join us Monday, Feb 17th from 7-10 PM to dance and celebrate Queer joy.

This is my journey 8 months into pole. My goals this year are: building burlesque routines and jump starting this baddies collaboration called, “The House of Tease.” I hope join my first pole competition in August. And get booked for several events for music over the coming months.
