TEDx Speaker & Best-Selling, Award-Winning Author

How Story Empowers Kids to Shape Our World. Connecting to these stories we heard as children help us forge our future path. Stories can provide healing as well as a creative outlet.

So this is my challenge, use pens, hope, and words to ignite and nurture the potential of our children, and ourselves. Reach a kid through story, and you will change the world.

Persuasive writing and story opened doors for me as a child. I didn’t have enough support around me to help me walk through that door, so my early careers went in a different direction.

However, over time I circled back around and now I coach people on how to share their stories. I help adults, and children, stoke their creativity.

sharing your stories can impact the world
