She is a natural storyteller, trained in Original Voice Technique by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Jungian Analyst and bestselling author. Her voice is colored by her experiences, having been born, raised in Englewood during the 60’s and 70’s, her coming of age tales are wrought with anguish, joy, love and pain. She is publishing her memoir as a serial and will read from My Perilous Journey #1 Vol. 1.
