If you have not seen this show on Public Television and you love to travel...what are you waiting for? Congratulations Bare Feet with Mickela Mallozzi! We love your show! Niki Rabren Jack Rabren
This means the world to me, right as we're in the middle of production for Season 5 of Bare Feet! I am honored to be a finalist in Newsweek's The Future of Travel Awards 2021 for Storytelling - for the past 11 years, I have been connecting with people around the world through the universal languages of dance & music - I like to say I make new friends by dancing with strangers, and it's been such a privilege to share those stories with the world. But the biggest privilege is that people are touched by my dance adventures and are inspired to see the world in deeper way because of them!
A massive THANK YOU to the panel of advisors for the recognition that these travel stories are important, including Kathleen Rellihan Norie Quintos, and Oneika the Traveller!
And congratulations to all of the finalists, it is an honor to be amongst all of you, especially dear friends and colleagues who I've evolved with over the years as a storyteller: Kellee Edwards, Lola Akinmade Åkerström, Ernest White II, Heather Greenwood Davis, Kelly Lewis of the Women's Travel Fest, Evita Turquoise Robinson, WHOA Travel, Fluenz, G Adventures, Local Purse, Black Travel Alliance, and more!
