Like sugar cane on backs and metal chains on feet, Nisani’s shyness is heavy. When the young dancer loses her homeland, she finds inspiration from her brave ancestors to keep dancing punta, a Garifuna cultural tradition. #DVpit #PB #BVM #POC #HF

Every Summer, Roman jets to a place where people shop on the sea, cook in the sand, and get water from the sky! Adventure finds him until he weeps “I DON’T WANT TO GO HOME.” When he returns to his ordinary city life, cousin Asha helps him see home from a different point of view. #DVpit #PB #BVM #POC

Come “Lehwe” go to Kiddies Carnival. Where “Gyuls” and boys dance in the street. And “Moko Jumbies” walk on stilts, not feet. From A to Zed, experience the wonder of a Caribbean fete. #DVpit #PB #BVM #POC #Lyrical #Concept

Nisani loves dancing punta when her Garifuna village sleeps. When it awakens, she scurries away like a crab until the day her people, food, and instruments FROM LAND AND SEA are taken. She loses her home but finds courage to dance again, so she won’t lose who she is too. #DVpit #PB #BVM #POC #HF

After Granny passes away, the blossoms in Alora’s memory garden begin to disappear. Alora must find a way to nourish her garden or else she’ll lose her blossoms of Granny forever. #DVpit #PB #BVM #POC

When a shy dancer and her people get swept from their village to a strange new land, Nisani finds inspiration from the land, sea, and her ancestors to keep punta, a Garifuna cultural dance, alive and strong. #DVpit #PB #BVM #POC #HF

Roman lives in the city. Cousin Asha lives in the Caribbean. For Roman, home is dull. People don’t even smile! But at Asha’s home, they shop on the sea, cook in the sand, and get water from the sky! When Asha visits, Roman learns his home isn’t perfect but it’s still special. #DVpit #PB #BVM #POC

Feeling good about #DVpit tomorrow! It's been years since I did in a pitch party. Excitement! Page Refreshes! Community! Growth! No matter what happens, we all win! If you don't get a like, you've improved your pitches and hopefully expanded your writing community! Good luck to all participants!
