Olivia Ness :: Movement Exchange
Olivia Ness never considered herself a dancer. Not until she arrived at IU did she even see the opportunity to dance as one that was available to her. At IU she embraced and explored any form of dance she could find through the clubs and activities offered. But it wasn't until Olivia found the organization Movement Exchange, that she was able to unite her newfound passion for dance with her interest in service to others. In her role as a volunteer for the IU chapter of Movement Exchange, Olivia has been able to share her love of dance and movement to empower the young women at Girls Inc. to be smart, strong, and bold - through movement. Listen to this week's Activate on WFHB online
