About Me: I have considered yoga a piece of my primary nourishment for the last 10 years. Yoga has served as a sanctuary for me to realign with my true self and recalibrate my psyche. When I practice I set an intention to cultivate my zen or "beginner's mind." This supports me in remaining open to new reflections, insights, and elements for my continued expansion and growth. I love the idea of bringing oneself to one's personal edge without struggle. . . or, said another way, life begins at the edge of our comfort zones. . . Ah yes, and the beautiful yoga mat is an amazing way to practice this! I love reflecting on the idea that how I show up on the mat is how I show up in my life!
Domestic violence affects everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or educational background. This project directly funds two Becky’s Fund youth initiatives: the “Becoming Your Own Heroine: Lessons in Self-Empowerment and Dating Violence” and the “Young Men’s Mentorship Program”. Targeting the highest risk youths in the D.C. metro area, the initiatives provide participants with education about dating and domestic violence. As a result, youth have the tools to create healthy, productive relationships, and learn how to teach others by example about conflict resolution, allowing them to build lasting and healthy relationships for the future.
