We proudly congratulate Mind-Builders student, Madisyn Manley for her outstanding achievement in being honored with the Paige Fraser Dance Is Healing Spotlight Award.

Madisyn discovered her passion for dance at age 6 and, after 8 years of training at the Ailey School, she is now a well-rounded dancer. Madisyn says Mind-Builders has played a significant role in her journey in providing her with opportunities like the Dance is Healing workshop.

We commend Madisyn for her achievements and eagerly anticipate her future successes.
