🏳️🌈 dance Community, it’s time to finish what I started and come from behind in 2026 😎💁🏽♂️
As an Icon in our 🏳️🌈 dance community, I owe it to YOU to keep the legacy alive for the future leaders who are still active, still dancing, and still holding it down. The past is the past, times have changed but after sitting back, reflecting, and realigning, I know exactly how to bring us back to those moments we once left on da floor.
So yes… it’s time to return to the floor.
After being deemed MMODF Icon in 2019 for my contributions, leadership, impact, and memorable moments, my legacy had already been written but the work didn’t stop there.
I began this journey by founding Grambling X-Men (2003–2008) while earning my BA, then stepping into another powerful legacy that inspired me 💙🫶🏾Memphis Elite where I learned a different style and trained with the best of the best for four years, simply doing what I love: dance.
A career move brought me to Dallas, where I helped build and continue a legacy that still stands strong today: Texas Teasers.
After my deeming, I went straight to work as MMODF President (2019). Much love to Flash Dontavious Body for trusting me to run his platform and allowing me to make it my own. From 2020–2023, I proudly hosted and birthed:
• Dancing with the Icons
• Men On Da 50
• Texas Region Buckdown Competition
These platforms gave our community space to shine, celebrate talent, and honor legacies even through challenging times.
For transparency: I had to pull back the last few years due to declining participation, which began impacting me financially. I was contributing straight from my own pockets because I love this community and was committed to making sure you all had a space to shine. But it truly takes a village and as the only active elected board member, I’m now focused on rebuilding from the ground up.
That means I’m looking for fresh ideas, dedicated people, and passionate leaders who want to help shape and rebuild our community together.
With that said, I will be deeming and recognizing individuals and teams who continued to put in the work over the last five years those who were active, competed, participated, and supported MMODF events from 2020–2025, whether winning or simply showing up.
📍 Dallas, Texas
🗓️ September 2026
This also gives me time to connect with the Legends Board to discuss potential deemed candidates. Details, requirements, and the opportunity for the community to submit recommendations will be announced so stay tuned.
I’m excited. I’m motivated. And I truly hope you’ll join me as we bring the buck back to da floor! Happy new year and see you in 2026!!!
