Capoeira is a lifestyle to me. I teach kids capoeira in the L.I.F.E. after school program. I am the co-director of Drumming for Peace, another community building program for kids of all ages. To earn a living I have my own business called "Supporting Visions". I am an adjustment to blindness counselor, and a distributor of fine low vision technology. I miss my two kids Paquita who's in Brazil and Palhaco's who's in Colorado. It's all good though, they are striving toward their dreams. Ratinho and I keep the roda alive in PA and he's dancing toward greatness. My husband Will Maxey continues to live up to his name of Maximum Effort.
