Reflection

For my submission, I decided to do a dance to a spoken word poem that I wrote. I wanted to use the art of dance to connect to my words, so people could feel and hear what I was trying to get across. With this dance, I’m trying to bring people together. I’m trying to open their eyes so they can see that climate change isn’t getting any better. It makes me feel disappointed that it’s our fault. But it makes me feel empowered that all we have to do is stand together, and we can start to reverse the damage.
