I have been a Performing Artist/Storyteller for more than ten years.  My passion is to draw on a wide array of previously untapped historical content from American History.

I recreate the past through first person interpretation, and it is challenging and a vital important educational method.  Because it personalizes history, it creates a greater sense of empathy and emotion than lectures.  My passion is to help others to look at history with a different set of lenses, to see the invisible people along with the familiar individuals.  Living history gives students an opportunity to peek into the past, and find an unexpected insight and moments of humor.
 

From the West Coast of Africa, the villages of Caribbean islands, the tribal tales of Native Americans, to the cotton and cane fields of the antebellum South, you can hear tales full of life, wisdom and humor; from tricksters to stories explaining how the world got to be; to moral fables that tell of encounters between masters and the enslaved, and within them are embedded hard truths about dealing with the world.
