Music That Gets Me Going
Music is a universal language and as someone who grew up with aspirations to go to Julliard, I LOVE music of all types; especially an arrangement that reflects the artist’s truth.

I Remember The Moment Vividly . . .
As I sat in the conference room determined to fake it after a particularly brutal week 'at the office', the burning truth of my reality was tearing me up inside. My outward boldness was a complete cover for the sheer terror I was feeling inside.
See, I wasn't fully present in that conference room, if I were honest. I was calculating the number days left of food for four people, when the mortgage had to be paid (or else), and there was less than a quarter tank of gas in the car. Adrian, came in with one of his colleagues, super distracted, and punching furiously into his phone. I suspected his day was just as jacked as mine. It's all relative. He looked up and said just said, 'What's happening?' After sharing with him, yet another idea to pivot Entre-SLAM to, he snapped:
Adrian interrupted: 'Christa what are you doing?'
Me: 'What? I'm trying to save this thing!'
Movies That Inspire Me
Hamilton
As soon as I saw the mostly all Black cast on the stage in all of that beautiful light, I broke down in tears. Not gonna lie. And then I continued to cry throughout because the storytelling was engaging, compelling, and well, entertaining. Knowing some of the backstory of how the show’s creator, Lin Manuel, native of Puerto Rico, had a dream, an idea and vision to do something different. When he talked about it, people laughed at him and said that it couldn’t be done and THEN to do so with a cast that was 99.9% made up of people of color. It made me think about how many people on that stage just never had opportunities before Hamilton…Now look at them. Okay…tearing up again. lol Please watch this and let this be a reminder of what can be done, when you decide it should be done.
