What LNYF means to me:
It means a community of people who work together towards a common goal of spreading culture through performances and celebration. It’s a community that when I first saw it on stage was one that radiated a level of comfort and excitement in wanting to be part of something like it. To me, it also means opportunities and chances to meet new people, learn new things, and push beyond my limits.
