"Jess, you came to me in a dream. You were performing. You sat down next to me and said 'It doesn't feel quite the same.'



I cherish all the research, dancing, singing, drumming, and performing I had with you. It was a powerful time in the Bay Area and beyond as artists going against the grain and shaking mountains. It was an ecstatic journey that is still deep in my bones!
