Illinois Storyteller Profile

|
| Bio: | Donna is a speaker, storyteller, and a healing artist. She has been wowing audiences since 1990 with her tales of life, love and laughter. Her zany folksongs and haunting ballads add a touch of the old-time troubadour. Heroes and heroines outwit their foes with pluck, ingenuity, and sometimes a little bit of magic. Her interactive programs are full of chants and rhymes that will have everyone singing along (yes, even middle-school students!) Her newest program is "A Bend in the Road: One Woman's Journey through Breast Cancer". Donna's stories, songs and poetry take her audiences on an emotional roller coaster ride down her road of discovery, apprehension, and her ultimate determination to survive. "A Bend in Your Road" is a workshop in which Donna uses her story to help others examine their own lives in a safe and supportive space. |
