Thanks for joining WHAT I KNOW TO BE TRUE :) Sharing some things that inspired me throughout this process throughout the past few months & past year.
About What I Know to be True
WHAT I KNOW TO BE TRUE is a ~1-hr curated virtual experience, diving into 6 themes I’ve felt deeply this year: Courage. Power. Vulnerability. Healing. Hope. Love. It's a program, performance, and experience, all wrapped into one. A way to hold space, in a creative way, with so many different who have touched my life in various beautiful ways.
