==Activism, Philanthropy, Entrepreneurship and Influencing== Logistx credits her mom for inspiring her to be so charitable. "One of my biggest inspirations is my mom. Because she's always been a very generous, giving and sensitive person. And I think there's even a way that she's inspired me without me knowing. She's always been one of the nicest people that I've ever known in my life. And she's my mom." Her mom had aspirations of joining the Peace Corps but unfortunately, an illness put a halt to those plans. “I tend to see what I'm doing as a way for her to live through me as I'm doing this stuff. She'll always tell me, she's so proud of me and she’s so happy I’m doing what I’m doing. And that's what's continued to inspire me to give back and to reassure that it's okay to give back and that it's the right thing to do.“ She founded S.E.L.F, in partnership with BreakinMIA, which stands for ''Self, Expressing Life Fearlessly'', and also for ''Style, Evolution, Light/ Love'', Foundation. “When I first moved [to South Florida], I felt there was something missing from the community,” she explains. “Like the Latin dance industry is very heavy over here, but there were also a lot of solo artists who were on their own around Florida that didn’t have a home.” She conducts the program at the studio where she works with artists on the evolution of their style and dance while focusing on foundation and community. Her social media is also a platform where she shares and inspires, with honest, and sometimes vulnerable captions on what she may be going through at the time. “I’m seeing how I [can] use every single opportunity with each interaction I have throughout the day to just share my light with someone. My career wouldn’t feel like it has any meaning without the purpose behind it, which for me is has always been to share and spread light.” And as she moves towards the 2024 Paris Olympics, Edra is guided by two words: message and impact. “What helps and motivates me to win is a deeper meaning, a deeper purpose and mission. I just want to share my light through my dance, and I want to represent hip hop and breaking in their authentic forms onstage.” She works with [https://originatebreaking.wixsite.com/1234 Originate Breaking TV], a group working to provide crucial resources to aspiring B-Boys and B-Girls in Africa with aspirations to expand across the globe. - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dq5DfJPvCsc TEAM SHARE Scholarship Fund (OBTV Africa x Logistx)] "They're actually really good friends of mine. They're an organization in Kibera, which is in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya in Africa. They became active in 2019. Originate Breaking TV does community outreach work to support B-Boys and B-Girls in Nairobi and help provide that community with resources and financial help because it can be really difficult for them. I actually first heard about them through one of my friends named Jilou. She's a very good friend of mine. She's another B-Girl that I've battled many times and I've known for a while now. They did an IG live interview with her and then they wanted to do one with me. So they asked her for my contact info. And that's how I got connected with Originate Breaking TV.They needed help with a fundraiser to provide sanitary towels and other supplies for the B-Girls in Kibera. So I helped them share it on social media and I was able to connect them to other B-Girls to help support the B-Girls over there with the sanitary towels. So that was the first time we had worked together. Then after that fundraiser, we did another fundraiser called Team Share Scholarship Fundraiser, which is currently still happening - PAYPAL: originatebreakingtv@gmail.com. This fundraiser is to help raise money for the B-Boys and B-Girls who go to school in Kibera. It's really difficult for them to pay for their own school fees and have transportation, uniforms, school supplies and anything that they need for school and dance. This is one of my favorite collaborations because I was able to see the impact that we were able to have on at least one of the families that we supported.When OBTV presented me with the idea to help raise money for the B-Girls and B-Boys over there to help them stay in school and break, I said I was down and we raised a good amount. That has been a really dope journey. We got support from Red Bull, my own crew Underground Flow, and a lot of my friends and mentors. The Kinjaz, another family-like crew of mine in the dance scene, helped support the fundraiser as well as BreakinMIA here in Florida."<ref>[https://www.redbull.com/us-en/spotlight-series-logistx-story Logistx's big plans for a better dance community]</ref>
