“She had been asking me to come see her tribal dance. So early that Saturday I showed up.” ❤️
-Ms Mayora (DYMON Mentor & Volunteer)
💐Reflection:
During Hispanic Heritage Month, one of our DYMON girls had the opportunity to celebrate her culture through tribal dance. When she saw me in the audience, her face lit up. ✨
Afterwards, She excitedly shared her experience, introduced me to her amazing mother, and beamed with pride.
But the sweetest moment came the following week.
When Ms. E. walked into the site and said, “Hi, Nicole! I loved seeing the video of your dance.”
Nicole’s face lit up again. She whispered..
“You know my name?” 🥹
Yes, Nicole. We know your name.
We see you. We celebrate you.
We show up for you.
That’s the power of mentorship.
That’s the power of belonging.
That’s the village at DYMON.💖
