8. Malia Gomez: Openness, Connection, and Gratitude in Dance

Published: April 16, 2021, 2 p.m.

Today, I have a conversation with Malia Gomez, someone I met just last year through ABBD and someone that I love and connect with. Malia has been a part of Culture Shock LA as well as Kaba Modern Kollective. We talk about her dance journey, her creative process, and dive into many different psychology concepts such as conformity and the wording effect.

For each episode this season, I want to raise awareness + donate to activism organizations that contribute to a cause that these speakers are passionate about. This portion is dedicated to a gofundme page that splits up donations to many different organizations fighting against anti-Asian hate. the link is: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-aapi-community-fund . There has been a surge of violence and hate crimes targeted towards the AAPI community, and it is important for us to do whatever we can to help contribute to the cause.
