I believe that through deep, personal exploration and integration of the arts into our lives, in whatever form - "art" presents itself to us, we are able to enhance our growth and inform our knowing about ourselves and the world more completely. This allows us to heal wounds, and create a culture that bridges the best and worst of our history with the best and worst of our possible destiny. I have performed at readings sponsored by: The Howard County Poetry and Literature Society, Columbia Festival of the Arts, Baltimore Book Festival, Howard County and Enoch Pratt Libraries, The National Black Women's Health Collective Conference, National Poetry Therapist Conference, The Association of Women in Psychology Conference, Common Ground on the Hill Music and Arts Festivals, Barnes & Nobles Bookstores through out Maryland, Baltimore’s Artscape, Common Ground on the Hill Music and Arts Festival.
