Afro-Latinx Dance Project, LLC (ALDP) is a BIPOC-centered grassroots movement based in Union County, New Jersey, sowed in womanist theory, and on a mission to re/invest in our communities. ALDP is dedicated to the advancement of cultural diversity, acceptance, and appreciation through artivism and creative placemaking and cultural placekeeping.
Afro-Latinx Dance Project, LLC was born from Kean University’s Afro-Latin Dance Project: an inclusive, open-level dance group hosted at the Union Campus. Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, ALDP was set to be up for review as a potential fiscal sponsoree of Dance New Jersey. In the face of coronavirus and the associated upheavals of the workings of society as we were used to knowing it, Consult with Kristine was established as an alternative business name.
Consult with Kristine In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Great Resignation, and the Black Lives Matter movement, individuals are seeking a greater sense of purpose in their lives. They no longer want to be dictated by out-of-touch high-level management that fails to prioritize living wages and meaningful work. Moreover, the pressing challenges of the affordable housing crisis, climate change, and a looming recession have highlighted the urgency for change.
