Testimonials

"The first year I struggled with finding my place and feeling like I didn't fit in, the second year I was challenged and got to explore different ways of being a part of CRayProject, and the third year was a combination of the past years but at the same time, everyone felt like family. " -Christina M. (dancer)

"I found in CRayProject, a place where I felt safe enough to explore the possibility of performing without anxiety. Where I was cheered on not torn down." -Arrian M ( Performer/Event Coordinator)
