I am a professional storyteller. Growing up, I spent my days sitting on the front porch listening to the elders tell stories. There is nothing more powerful than a good story. As a public speaker, I use storytelling to transcend the moment. I travel the world engaging in the art of storytelling, including being the opening storyteller for The Moth mainstage and for their virtual mainstage event, which was live-streamed into over 30,000 households in over eight countries. From Sunday sermons and academic presentations to personal and professional development, I am a storyteller.
