standing behind a mic to tell my first story i immediately felt at home. i had always performed - first for family, then as part of choirs and in plays and musicals throughout high school and college. as i got older i started writing, which helped me find my voice. storytelling occupies a space between the written and the performative, where those parts of me are allowed to come together. what a gift.
