“I long to be amongst the energy improvisation generates, to be housed in the small, beautiful world a handful of people make to house their joy and chaos and all.”
― Caleb Azumah Nelson, Small Worlds

“I don’t really know how to hold myself when I dance, but I do know how to surrender, how to let my body bend to the melody, like prostrating to something Godlike, something honest.”
― Caleb Azumah Nelson, Small Worlds

“I’ve only ever known myself in song, between notes, in that place where language won’t suffice but the drums might, might speak for us, might speak for what is on our hearts.”
― Caleb Azumah Nelson, Small Worlds

“I want to build a place where there’s a sense of freedom which isn’t attached to anything else, that doesn’t come as part of a transaction. There would be no catch. Just a place for people to eat and drink, to plot and breathe. To be. A place we could call home.”
