To our community,
It is with great sadness, and a heavy heart to share with you that our founder and director, David Inocencio, lost his battle with cancer this past weekend. Over the past few weeks, David was surrounded by his family, colleagues, and close friends, as we celebrated his life and his many incredible accomplishments.
For the past twenty-seven years, David has anchored our collective strive toward liberation through the power of testimony. He was—and still remains—loved and cherished across the nation for his leadership. The profound influence that David had on all of us reaches far beyond life itself.
For the time being, David’s family kindly requests privacy. If you’d like to express any thoughts, prayers, or well wishes during this time, feel free to get in touch with Program Associate, Alyssa Maanao (amaanao@thebeatwithin.org). We’ll provide updates soon with how you can show your support.
We extend our utmost gratitude for your understanding and patience as we navigate this next chapter, and we look forward to continuing David’s legacy with each and every one of you.
In David’s words, The Beat goes on.
In solidarity,
The Beat Within
