EMPOWERMENT TALES
EMPOWERMENT TALES
A Hearty Mix of Prose to Enlighten, Soothe, and Encourage...
Among the stories offered to inspire thoughtful reflection and conversation to listeners are:
Examples of Traditional Fare:
Little Red Riding Hood:
A version of this fateful tale can be found in many cultures and offer a greater a message than that provided by Golden Book which hardly went beyone "listen to your mother" and "stay on the path."
I tell the story based on the Grimm version which offers a wholly different message in two parts: Part 1 is the learning; Part 2 applies what is learned. Themes: wisdom, community, experience
The Black Bowl
This Japanese folktale eloquently details the plight of girls and women whose prettiness is not a blessing, but a curse and, in doing so, illuminates our human nature to objectify ourselves and others. Themes: otherness, jealousy, diligence
Philamandre
Philamandre chronicles a complex and unresolved relationship between mother and child, alongside the power of love and forgiveness. Themes: family, forgiveness, community
There are many stories that expound ideals of empowerment.
Programs are assembled for length and content according to the audience.

MYOB: Mind Your Own Body
A Story Concert and more...
MYOB: Mind Your Own Body is a storytelling initiative to talk the walk and walk the talk toward legalizing the inalienable rights of women and others over their own bodies without shame or prejudice.
Moreover, it is a testament that stories have the power to shape the world.
Stories
Stories include fable, folk, fairy, and personal prose. While the overarching theme is based on the plight of women as a means to affect change, the specific stories and programs are fluid to allow for appropriate content for a wide range of audiences and venues.
I hope to empower audiences to listen to the stories of others, to give pause for reflection, and to make their own voices heard.
Together we can make a difference.
