Space for Me
Last Monday, I had the chance to interview Ellice Patterson, founder of Abilities Dance Boston, a dance company that aims to disrupt disability misconceptions and spread the value of inclusion through dance. As you know, this is not the first time we have showcased professional dancers in our blog, which begs the question how can dance, or sports in general, change our relationship to disabled and/or disfigured bodies?
Patterson had her first spinal surgery back in 2010 and just 7 years later she started her dance company. “I needed to create a place for me in dance,” she claims resolute in her commitment to find a space that would allow her to develop her skills professionally. She recounts a time when she asked a company director if they could adjust the movements so that she could participate. She was told that it wasn’t possible because “this is a professional company.”
Growing the company from one to fifteen has not been easy, but moments like getting to perform in the Alvin Ailey Theater Company two years ago made it all worth it. When it is practice time, “anything composed by Andrew Choe”, the director of music for her dance company and whom she works with closely to tie inspiration with sound daily, gets her going. When asked what percentage of her identity revolves around her disability, she believes that it is as important as race, gender, and sexuality. “My disability makes me feel strong and proud,” she admits.
As she is recovering from her second surgery, she mentions “I have to take time to reintegrate myself [with my body]” which usually entails taking time to work on each of her movements, patience, and reminders that “I have done this before.” Similarly to paralympic champion Veronica, I get the sense that Ellice has a respect for her body that transcends judgement and limitations. It is like her body is a separate identity that she aims to reunite with, in an almost holy and ritualistic way. I wonder, if able-bodied people regarded their bodies in the same way, would they be more accepting and loving of their bodies.

The offer sounded too good to be true, but I ignored my doubts after seeing the high-yield crypto trading platform and observing the market myself. In hindsight, that should have raised red flags. However, like many crypto investors, I was drawn into investing in digital assets, believing it was a huge opportunity for me. Unfortunately, this led to me becoming just another victim of a sophisticated crypto scam, in which I lost $312,000 in USDT (Tether). It was a devastating financial blow that threatened both my stability and peace of mind. If not for the intervention of a little-known cyber forensics firm, Morphohack Cyber Service, I would have lost everything. They helped me reverse the damage and reclaim control of my crypto assets.
I highly recommend the services of Morphohack. You can contact them via email (Morphohack@cyberservices . com). This team of blockchain experts and cybersecurity professionals was able to detect the scam, trace where my crypto was sent, and initiate a full recovery process.

I believed I was making a prudent investment when I transferred ten thousand dollars worth of Bitcoin to an online Trader I found through what appeared to be a credible platform. Everything seemed authentic. The Trader communicated confidently and offered compelling reasons to trust him. They assured me of steady returns and shared updates that made the whole arrangement feel genuine. At the time I was optimistic and eager to grow my financial resources. However the situation took a devastating turn. Suddenly the Trader stopped all communication. The website Vanished without warning. My access Credentials stopped working. It quickly became clear that I had fallen victim to a scam. I was overwhelmed with a sense of disbelief and frustration. Losing such a significant sum felt crushing. I was embarrassed that I had been so easily deceived and uncertain about what to do next or if recovery was even possible. Then I discovered GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. Initially I was skeptical.
