In a world of high technology, gadgets and devices, the human voice still reigns supreme.  A story not only teaches, inspires, heals and connects, it also celebrates culture and addresses the need for expression and understanding. Stories enhance communication and uplift and empower as  they highlight facets of the human condition and appeal to our senses.

(CHILDREN SING ALONG WITH IFE POPULAR CHILDREN’S SONGS AND LISTEN TO SHORT STORIES WITH SIGNIFICANT MESSAGES FOR LITTLE EARS. 

         My general programs consist of traditional, contemporary, and original material of many themes and for all ages.  I combine original poetry, stories, songs, guitar, and percussion

          I will often lead my audiences into call and response as to include them in the storytelling process. I strive to impart interesting information, morsels of truth, healthy messages, a hearty laugh and feelings of empowerment.

          Storytelling crystallizes the human journey and warms the heart, sparks imagination, deepens communication and leaves the listener and teller with a broader knowledge of the world, and a deeper sense of self. I am honored to be a storyteller.
