In the summer of her 5th-grade year, Tiana attended a camp that changed her life. Among the many activities, it was horseback riding that captured her heart. The feeling of freedom, the gentle strength of the horses, and the connection she felt in the saddle ignited a joy she carries to this day. Now, whenever she travels and has the opportunity to ride horses, she seizes it—each experience a reminder of that first magical summer.

At Indigo Movement, we celebrate all forms of movement that help reclaim joy, self-expression, and connection! One of the most powerful ways to experience this is through dance. Side note: did you know our founder, Tiana is also a dancer? Whether it’s in a class, at the club (LOL), or in the privacy of your own home (don’t be shy!), dancing unlocks something deep within—a sense of freedom, rhythm, and release.

Joy is often seen as fleeting or unimportant, but science tells us otherwise. Joy lowers our stress, builds resilience, and strengthens our connections with others. More than that, joy is a form of resistance. And we need it now more than ever. This Black History month Indigo Movement will celebrate Black joy!

It's funny how everyone wants you to be more or less than what you see for yourself. It's a fine line between having these comments be taken as encouragement or projections. 2024 reinforced the lesson to run my race at my pace, regardless of the noise. And yes, the noise can be well-intentioned.

What an interesting day. Several things are happening at once. On one hand, it's a day of remembrance, honor, and a reminder to be of service; shoutout to Martin Luther King Jr., Coretta Scott King (the vizier), and the team. On the other hand, there's the transfer of power and everything and everybody that comes with that. With that being said, what both individuals have in common is their team. 2024 taught me that my team is rare and dope!

2024 was an expensive year for the entire world! I saw fellow business owners close their doors and put their businesses on pause, and some had to cut staff to the point that the owners were working the floor again. Being an entrepreneur and a guardian of children and elders is not for the weak of hearts.
