1. i dance because i believe in the joy of being fully present in my body – it is not a mating ritual or an invitation to touch me inapprorpiately

2. by solidarity i meant honouring and supporting marginalized voices, not throwing your support at things that make you look good and staying silent when there ‘might be’ repercussions

3. by God i mean us, a deep recognition of our interconnectivity with each other and all of creation, not ‘Him’ – some fatherhead of a patriarchal system

4. by ‘i love you’ i meant i love you – not a question, not a request, not a demand, just love.

5. by education i meant self-development and self-fulfillment, not a system designed to turn people into tax-paying machines
