Genetics

Overview

Genetics is a dance presentation that unveils the genetic blueprint of my existence. Through storytelling , I trace the lineage of my ancestors and elders, revealing how their choices, spirits, and experiences shaped the essence of who I am today. This journey begins three generations back, decoding the DNA that lives within me—uncovering inherited traits, ancestral wisdom, and the silent imprints through navigating the generational curses, blessings and lessons of my bloodline.
