Chapter 40: covered in grace, walking in purpose, and overflowing with gratitude.
As I celebrate my 40th birthday, I’m reflecting on the life, love, lessons, and blessings that carried me here. This year, I’m not just celebrating myself I’m celebrating the students, dancers, young creators, and future leaders I get to pour into through Creations Berkeley.
For my birthday, I’m asking my community to sow into the next generation with a gift in increments of $40. $40, $80, $120, $400, or whatever your heart leads you to give.
Your donation helps support our students with dance, media arts, costumes, equipment, rehearsal space, productions, performances, and opportunities that remind them they are talented, worthy, and capable of more.
So instead of just sending birthday love, help me turn 40 into impact.
Swipe to scan the QR codes and donate.
Here’s to 40 years of grace and to creating more opportunities for the kids coming after me.
With love and gratitude,
Carla
