“I just have so much gratitude for this life and I have seen so much. This art form took me out of the Bronx and in front of presidents and so many people. I have a lot of hutzpah but it takes a village; I have so much gratitude for people and the possibilities that I was given. Today, I teach the classes because I want kids to see a leader in action and to be able to say I can do this too. He looks like me.”
