I'm claiming that we will be victorious tonight at the @bessieawards. "The dance world's highest honor." 'The Healing Sevens,' by Baba Abdel Salaam is nominated for a 2017 Bessie Award for Outstanding Production. The production featured  @asaseyaa Foundation, Illstyle & Peace Productions and Forces of Nature Dance Theatre (@fon_dance_theatre) . I want my Sister Daaimah Taalib-Din (@dtdancer) who is also nominated for outstanding performer to win also! This is a snippet featuring me dancing in the @bessieawards nominated production 'The Healing Sevens,' by Baba Abdel Salaam. #ForcesofNatureDanceTheatre #FONDT#Abdelrsalaam #JerijahWest #bessieawards2017 #danceawards #BlackExcellence (at BAM)
