Welcome to my "Voice Box"
#ThinkOutsideYourBox 

A place for sharing views, dreams, and experiences with my friends and family.
​
 "Becoming a mother changed me. I have more love, passion, and fulfillment in life; which in turn, enriches my artistry."
 - Rachel Sparrow
​
*Please join me in normalizing motherhood

within performing artists' culture*
Think Outside Your Box means to me:
​
1. Be Selfless - think beyond your own "box"
or wants. Help heal and uplift others.

​2. Feel Empowered to cut through the proverbial
​"box" made of societally-induced-parameters.
​
3. Be Bold. Innovate. Stretch yourself. Do hard things.
