To answer the question: "At 6 years old, what did you want to be..."

When I was 6 years old, I wanted to be a gymnast and a figure skater! When I watched the Olympics witnessed the women perform the gymnastics and the figure skating, I felt so alive! It was so beautiful for my eyes to see. My enthusiasm for this sport was met with ridicule, laughter, and doubt the moment I expressed myself to my family. I was told, I was "too fat", we were "too poor", and that it was "unrealistic" to think I could ever be a gymnast, skater, or dancer. "You could never do that," is what I was told. I didn't stand a chance. So that desire was crushed and I was so afraid to ever try out any sports or dance out of fear of being laughed at. To which I then decided, "I want to be loved, and to love... I want to be supported and encouraged by family..." It's why being here dancing with you all means so much to me. I get live my dream of dancing and I am so grateful. 

Yessss!!!

Growing up with a Polish background from my dad and Southern Black background from my mom, we would always combine cultures and have Soul Food dishes and Polish dishes on holidays. Food for me is a celebration of who we are and where we come from to honor celebrate the ones who came before us. I used to try to "diet" but it only confused me and I ended up feeling like a bland generic fake person... I didn't feel like me. Taking culture in consideration and the foods I grew up with, I just make wise choices now. I eat for my body and for my soul. I don't restrict-I don't over-indulge. I don't look at food as "good" or "bad", I just see it as food. It made feel so bad when women would say to themselves or myself that this particular food is bad for you... or being food shamed... So I made my own way, I just make my fav foods and make them "healthy": less butter or fat, substitute certain ingredients, add veg here or fruit here and make it my own. There is so much freedom to be had!!
