Today marks 30 years since I immigrated to America. What a wild ride it’s been. Hard to find words to encapsulate the experience. All I can say is, if you’re somewhere where they don’t speak your language, or are confused by your customs and beliefs, and you’re without most of your family, and feel very different, I see you. I have spent so many years trying to assimilate, and yet never quite feeling like there is a place I can truly call home, or where I felt like I belong. The gift of being around on this earth long enough, is that, more than ever, I know it resides inside me. I am proud of my history, my ancestors, my roots, I am a Russian Jew. America has changed over the last three decades, or perhaps revealed itself more deeply. Lately I’ve felt conflicted about all the sacrifices that were made to create a life here. And yet, there’s no other place like it, and I’m grateful to it, for introducing me to New York, for teaching me about freedom, and gracing me with a home here, and a family of my choosing. I am a proud New Yorker. Over the years, I have come to find out, that I am many things. I am not someone who personally finds labels necessary or conducive. But, sometimes, we must identify ourselves, for others to feel less alone. So, today, I am a proud immigrant. And a very grateful one. #иммиграция
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all of my birthday wishes!!!!! I feel your love and support, from afar, and it feels pretty f*#*ng great. Had the sweetest birthday yesterday, working all day (which is the best gift of all in this time) and receiving your messages and well wishes throughout. Such an overwhelming outpouring of love. There’s something to this, getting older thing. Do not fear. Love, m.

Hello 2021. “It’s a new dawn It’s a new day It’s a new life for me And I’m feeling good..” -Nina Simone #2021 #planetearth
I’ve spent this week thinking of how to close out this year, and welcome in the new one. For me personally, New Year’s Eve has always been incredibly important. It’s a night to thank and say good bye to the past year, to celebrate with loved ones, to welcome in the new. As long as I can remember, in my house, it was a night of Shared love, joy, and dancing into morning. This has been such an unbelievably challenging year for so many. So much grief and loss. I’ve been thinking of all those ringing in this new year alone, or with diminished families. I’ve been looking for a way to bring in some joy, some way of saying, you’re not alone. Movement has been my best friend and my greatest love and healer. I have navigated some dark deep waters and healed many wounds, by moving them through my body. Deep inside of us, there’s love, light and joy. And tonight, i figured what better way to release this year, than to move it out with you, to tap into that place, deep inside, and share even a little kernel of joy. If nothing else, maybe you’ll get a good laugh, watching me make a fool of myself. So, here’s the first, unedited, take. I hope that you can find some time and space to move with me. Sending you massive love, and wishing you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR. -❤️🕺m #happynewyear #goodbye2020 #hello2021 #idontowncopyrightstothemusic
