Like Water is a long-living practice—one that has been flowing, changing shape, and returning for over 17 years.

It began as a dance. A body moving through questions of softness, strength, and surrender. Over time, that movement asked to be held in new forms. What started on the body expanded into story, into sound, into image—each iteration carrying the same lesson forward.

From the dance came Ebb & Flow, a children’s book created as a gentle offering. Written for young hearts and growing minds, it introduces the idea that emotions move, change is natural, and feeling deeply is not something to fear. This book is not separate from Like Water—it is part of its current.

Now the work is evolving again through Living Water, a visual album and short film in development. This chapter brings together music, movement, and cinematic storytelling to explore love, grief, sensuality, memory, and becoming. Here, water remains both metaphor and teacher.

Across every form, the purpose of Like Water remains the same: to teach us how to be and flow like water. To move with change instead of resisting it. To soften without losing power. To recognize the body as water, emotion as current, and presence as nourishment.

Rooted in Black diasporic ways of knowing, this project honors water as sacred—life-giving, memory-holding, and deserving of care. If water shapes us, carries us, and connects us, then how we move through the world matters. Our presence can refresh. Our care can heal.

Like Water is not one work, but a lineage.
A remembering.
An invitation to flow.
