I love Tasha! I met Tasha while living in Washington, D.C., as we trained with a South African Contemporary Dance Company based out of the Maryland/D.C. area. Tasha was such a kind, friendly, and humble spirit. It was rather refreshing and a ray of hope for me while living in a city so foreign to me at the time. I was truly grateful. Who would have known that 3 years later, we would be birthing our manifested visions of entrepreneurship and projects at the same time. Tasha founded and established an amazing cultural arts organization, Culture Smartz, Inc. I had the honor of supporting Tasha in her annual fundraising event, "Inspiration Through The Arts" April 2013 in Washington, D.C., and represented my dance program, Aletheia. Dance, Inc by doing a solo piece. I am always willing to support such an amazing project!
