This intergenerational workshop allows us to celebrate when, where, and how we let our light shine. Inspired by the following quote from Nelson Mandela: "When we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people the permission to shine their light. As we are liberated from our own fear, our light automatically liberates others." Together, let's learn from each other how to support, one another to let our lights shine. Join GSP! (Grassroots Spiritual Practitioner) Soyinka Rahim! In BIBO! (Breathe in! Breathe out!) Roar, sigh, hum, or yum! Meditation, affirmation, visualization, movement, storytelling, chants and songs, art making, to celebrate our lights!
The Race Dance Project is a unique opportunity to face racism using storytelling, movement, stillness, and songs in a process that includes the wisdom of the body, and moves toward healing and celebrating human wholeness.

Soyinka Rahim, your Grassroots Spiritual Practitioner, was born and raised in Oakland, California in an Afrocentric family that explored holistic thinking, power to the people, the world’s religions, and many different art forms. Soyinka has channeled her experiences in dance, music, theater, poetry and song into facilitating movement, storytelling and ritual with diverse groups of children and adults in the U.S. and abroad. “Since we all deal with fear, doubt, shame and disappointment,” says Soyinka, “it’s important to make opportunities to play, laugh, celebrate and love one another through this human experience."
