OUR PATHS TO AUTHENTICITY
Our Paths To Authenticity
is a collective showcase of three artists. Asha, Tamora Israel, and Tanoa Vaughn.
This project started with an idea to create more opportunity to perform, to a discussion on authenticity, to a VisionFlyer (like a vision board for an event).
Now we are building what is a blueprint to being our true selves through poetry, song and dance.
In collaboration, we share this for those souls out there to encourage, empower, support and say to you, you’re doing the work just by asking the question, how do I honor who I am and where do I start?”
Hosted at O'Playsis 125 Main St. Buzzards Bay Tickets sold on a tiered pricing system.
Choose the specific tier that matches your family needs:
Tier 1 $20; Tier Two $25; Tier Three $30.
We'll see you there!
Experienced professionals dedicated to your success.
Proven results that speak for themselves.
