As a woman of mixed descent, I have had the great pleasure of sharing my gift of dance with the world. Thus far, I have traveled to Ireland, Italy and Brazil to share my gift with those that would see it. I have been blessed with a gift that has empowered me to live the life that I choose. Now, I want to share my story and my dance experience with young women of a similar background in a Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. I will be working with these beautiful girls for 12 weeks with a program called Escola Didá, teaching them dance and inspiring them to stand in their power.
Didá dance and percussion school works with women and girls, and young children. The late Neguinho do Samba (co-founder and drum master for the Olodum children’s drum corps who performed with Paul Simon and Michael Jackson), founded Didá to instill dignity and self-esteem in, and otherwise serve, black and mixed-race women and girls. These girls have traditionally had to bear unjustifiable burdens in Brazil, and as “exotics” from poor communities, they are targets of Euro sex-tourism. Didá mentors these women and girls on many issues important to them, provides health services they may not otherwise be able to afford and focuses on teaching trade skills.
If, by chance, I raise more than the funds I'm asking for, I may stay longer and continue to work with the girls. If I choose not to stay, I will donate the rest of the money to Didá so that they may continue to help these girls grow and evolve into empowered women.
So please, any contribution is greatly appreciated! If you live outside of the Chicagoland area and you donate successfully, please feel free to email me so that we can work out a way for you to get your perk!
Thank you everyone!
