Catch the Fire
In the poem “Catch the Fire” by Sonia Sanchez, Sonia said “ Sometimes I wonder: What to say to you now. In the soft afternoon air as you hold us all in a single death? I say—Where is your fire? I say—Where is your fire? You got to find it and pass it on.” From a young age, I always knew what my fire was. I knew that I possessed a purpose that transcended those of my peers. My ability to create meaningful art in various forms could allow me to reach and uplift so many people in my community and those alike. Growing up, I explored my voice as an artist through community theatre, dance ensembles, art classes, photoshoots, and writing. As I encompass year 20 of my life, my voice is becoming more sophisticated and I feel a need of service to my community to share it. In March of 2020, the global pandemic formally known as the Coronavirus locked me in the house for six months. Over these six months, I was forced to define who I was an individual and artist especially the connections and separation between them both. Through tears, writing, laughter, and thought, I developed a seven chapter project that would be broken up over the span of seven months. This project is entitled “SELF/Warfare”. SELF/Warfare explores the makings of my being: what fuels me, motivates me, censors me, and uplifts me.
