Rebellion. This is piece based on history mixed with legend from the 1791 Slave Rebellion in Haiti.*

Journey of the Rainbow Serpent

My retelling of a couple of African tales in the Summer 23 issue of Parabola can be found here:

The Lazy Girl & the Butter-Yellow Pot

It all started when… I performed classical Indian dance on St. Louis TV station KSDK’s kids’ show Corky’s Colorama. And a little while later, I won all those fourth-grade class writing contests.

And that’s how I ended up being a dancer, writer, and storyteller.

This website is a work in progress! Please check back soon.

In addition to writing, I perform, tell stories, & speak on art/history/dance/culture. Please visit the Contact Page for more info.
