Why I created 100 Videos in 100 Days

1:30pm on this day one year ago I edited my first little video.

I was in a dark place.

As the world began to re-open after the pandemic and things seemed a little brighter, I found myself waking up at 1pm daily, crying, going to work, repeating the habit the next day.

Months of almost no income and zero unemployment. A falling out with a big influence in my life. Almost all my friends had moved out of New York. The one thing I did have, my bike, was stolen and I’d been living on a mattress on the floor for 4 months.

You get the idea. It sucked.

At 1:30pm on this day I rolled around to some ‘Lianne Le Havas’ tunes. Trying to do that thing where you let your emotions out through movement #artist. I filmed it.

As I dragged the cursor over the video on my IPhone I realized the movement looked better sped up. So I consulted iMovie. Then and there I edited my first ever doing daily.

For a good 30 minutes I became hyper focused on creating something. When I finished my thoughts were ‘Werrrkk Hannah’ you did something today! In that moment I felt a little proud, accomplished and energized.

This was the beginning of 100 consecutive days of creating. discovering, learning and playing.

This was the beginning of a new season of growth as an artist, dancer, and human.
