There may be 'no second acts in American lives' - thank you, Fitzgerald - and yet Enrique Cruz DeJesus has lived so many exciting chapters that seven or eight books could be devoted to his journey. Mr. DeJesus has been the Artistic Director and Resident Choreographer of Alpha Omega Theatrical Dance Company since 1998, inheriting directorship of this nearly 45 years old company from Andy Torres during a time when the future was anything but certain. Having led a successful concert dance career - that saw him working with Eleo Pomare, Talley Beatty, Gary Deloatch, Martial Roumain and George Faison - Mr. DeJesus transitioned in to a highly successful theatre career with his stage debut at Shakespeare in the Park's production of 'Measure for Measure' under the direction of George C. Wolfe.

When author Dianne Porter's mother passed away, she found herself struggling not only with tumultuous emotions affecting her behavior also with how she communicated her feelings to the people dear to her as her mother and daughter relationship was changing forever. Eventually, Porter found catharsis in writing and discovered that she could use this medium by expressing herself and capturing the lessons that she learned from this heartbreaking episode involving hospice palliative care. In her new book, My Mother's Way of Dying Well, she shares comfort for those struggling with a similar tragedy.
