"One of the processes of your life is to constantly break down that inferiority, to constantly reaffirm that I Am Somebody."
— Alvin Ailey
Dancer, choreographer, and director #AlvinAiley died of complications from AIDS on December 1st, 1989.
On #WorldAIDSDay I honor the legacy of every artist, dancer, writer, musician, parent, bricklayer, sex worker, office drone, nurse, and activist whose lives were stolen by this disease.
We remember you.
This one especially goes out to my teacher Raven Moonshadow. I'm grateful I could be with you at the end.
