I was born in Russia, a political refugee in Sweden, lived in India, New York, Kenya and now Mexico. Traveling to over 80 countries, I have discovered dance as an international language to connect people across cultures. Michelle Obama has really been a huge inspiration for me when it comes to redefining female leadership and programming life with joy and dance. Dance legends have inspired me with a wide range of dance traditions from Hip Hop for peace, salsa shaking off inequality, to samba queens empowering women and girls. I commend The Rosenzweig Report for putting the spotlight on the need for greater inclusion of women, including women of colour, in leadership positions in the corporate world.
