We All Have Stories to Tell ~
I firmly believe that we all have stories inside of us - just waiting to be told! We tell them, whether to friends or family, in print, orally, through visual art or the art of movement.
In our digital era, sharing our stories and experiences of life, family, culture, comedy, cooking, travel, teaching, and more has increased in new media - blogs, vlogs, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, to name a few.
My family told "stories", especially Mama, the family Matriarch for over 100 years. I inherited her love of family and cultural stories. Now, in South America, I am integrating a new culture into my stories! I encourage you to tell your stories; by doing so, you create lasting bonds
