Interested in dance and peacebuilding?
Mariah is available to give lectures about using dance in peacebuilding, based on her thesis from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. A successful guest lecture at Emerson College in December was described by the professor as "Fascinating, well-delivered and compelling because it brings out the hidden power of dance."
