WHAT DOES SITA RAM MEAN TO YOU? It’s what the choir is all about in one musical: Finding yourself.
And what does the choir mean to you? I love the CCC because I can express what I feel through music. I can convey my feelings and who I am as a person in a way that I can’t in any other way.

FAVORITE SITA RAM MOMENT? My favorite part has to be the Hanaman’s Heart performance. It’s so powerful especially when performing the choreography. Hanaman realizes that Sita and Rama is in his heart, literally they were with him all along. To me, that’s powerful.
ROLE MODEL? Judy Hanson and Josephine Lee. They’ve showed me that I should never accept mediocre from myself just because I’m a child. Both of these women have been the best role models of my life.

FAVORITE PART OF SITA RAM? We get to experience how so many different cultures can come together to prove one common point. It shows how the CCC breaks down cultural barriers through music. We as singers in Sita Ram are living proof of that.
CHOIR MEANS WHAT TO YOU? I love the CCC because it forces me to be focused, driven, and hard-working. It is the sole reason why I do well in school and socially because it taught me how to work hard and interact with all different types of people.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE CCC THAT MAKES IT SO SPECIAL? It is great to be with people who have the same passion as you. We are exposed to the most amazing cultural opportunities. The people in CCC are always the most loving, kind, and intellectual people to be around.
Role model? Claude Camun was a surrealist artist in the 1920’s who advocated for women’s rights. She made art that questioned gender norms. During that time she also protested the Nazi invasion of France. Needless to say, she was extremely brace and progressive for her time!

WHAT MAKES CCC SO UNIQUE? Very rare do you find a person, group or organization that demands excellence and responsibility from you. This is what I love about choir. They also do this in the name of creating a better world, and they deliver this mission. It is truly powerful.
