One of the most difficult moments when you’re learning from the choreographer is when you have to do the choreography alone. It’s a pivotal moment, but one that is essential to the growth of any artist.

Imani (Faith)
To believe with all our hearts in our people and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.

I have faith that I am doing that which the Creator and the Ancestors would have me do. I have faith and believe that my sister, Thea Barnes, (Miss T) is with me always and supports and guides my path, both as a performing artist, as a teacher, as a guide to our young people, our children, and as I move always forward with her Fund, TBLF. She continued on after 12 years with Martha and spent 18 years in London as the Resident Dance Supervisor for the “Lion King.” A true testimony to her being a fierce and uncompromising force. Remember anything or any changes you want to occur starts with your belief, your faith, your Imani!! Find it or rediscover it!

Happy New Year from TBLF executive team!!

Kuumba (Creativity)To do always as much as we can to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.

African-Americans in this country are notable for our contributions to all Arts. But we do more than dance, sing, write, act and play sports. If you are unaware of the contributions and inventions of African-Americans, if you are unaware of inventions that have contributed significantly to your day-to-day living and have contributed to our ability to live healthier lives here is a link to get you started.

Creativity must thrive for inventions to be constantly created. This is the power of creativity.
