I'm gratefully living and enjoying creating stories, spoken word, special events and - soon cooperative creative housing with my immediate and extended family. I love being " Na Na" to two grandsons who are destined for great family life and leadership, making positive contributions to humanity. I am a life-long learner who teaches communication, nutrition and health courses for the ever-evolving Univ. of Phoenix. Currently, collaboratiive progects are emerging with Veteran artists, Aspalt Jungle Band, the Information Diva, Kuumba and others to produce new preformances, recordings, short films, retreats and creative resources. I have worked for health and human service agencies or programs
