Latest blog post on "Now All I Need is The Cape." centers around honoring dancer, choreographer, teacher, Charles Moore and Dances & Drums of Africa. Before this, except for some early reviews, I don't believe much was written about the company and how Charles created & nurtured it. bit.ly/4oOoI5T

As can I, this Pope's heritage can be traced back to an ancestor from Haiti. You remember? That shithole country? Watching & praying that Pope Leo XIV continue in the footsteps of Francis, make changes in some of his more conservative beliefs & bring the world together in ways no one expected.
