Embodying Change in Our Society
Have a bright idea that will spark change and impact society? Need some guidance in getting it out and into the world? Through production and program development, we bring ideas beyond the vision space and into manifestation using “The 5 Steps to Weaving a Dream.”
What began with an inner circle of artists has now expanded to educators, triathletes, pastors, and former inmates who are using their experiences as fuel to make the world brighter. They are creating intersectional conversations to connect with themselves and others. Scroll through the library and join the conversation.
"The interesting thing about social media is how devolved power can be and how things can bubble up. For example Ben & Jerry's ice-cream for Black Lives Matter #nojusticenopeach."
" I represent the problems of society and I'm just mirroring that as the poet".
"Taking free Shakespeare into the world isn't a new idea. The radical idea at work here at the Mobile Unit is that we are going to go into these places and be humans together".
"My leadership style is more jazz than Bach"
"It's not people of color's job to educate white people anymore on racism. It's my job as a white man".
"My spacial awareness was always on the physical plain. Now I'm learning how to apply it to my mind."
Doubt is listening to the stories someone says about you instead of listening to the voice that rises within you.
"We think its about agreement, but its really all about honor."

Tanya has been a guest speaker for “The Dream Unfinished”, an activist orchestra highlighting the under recognized works for artists of color. She was also invited to speak at The Dalton School (one of the most prestigious private schools in Manhattan) to speak for their Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Celebration. Recently Tanya was a guest speaker at the Feminism + Faith Rally which was in support of the Women's March in New York City where she spoke on these turbulent times. Later this year, she will give a co-keynote speech with revolutionary Educator Chris Emdin and founder of Hip-Hop Ed on the power of embodying the knowledge that we receive.
" In my work with institutions, it's about coming back to that place of child like wonder and discovery."
