I tell stories both as a writer and as a theatre director. I choose the stories that I tell not only to entertain but also to ask questions about what it is to be human.<\/span><\/p>\n There is one fundamental story that I can\u2019t help writing \u2013 about how I am navigating whatever happens each day of my life. In this story I have taken on many roles: daughter, sister, cousin, mother, divorc\u00e9e, aunt, widow, lover, godmother and \u00e9minence grise.<\/span><\/p>\n Each role has helped shape me into the person I am today. And through the many unexpected twists, turns, setbacks and triumphs, my love of stories has been my constant companion.<\/span><\/p>\n Even in the toughest times, widowed with two children, when I struggled to balance everything around me, the power of stories was\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0grounding force in the life of my family.<\/span><\/p>\n Suddenly cast in the role of sole provider, I had little time to spare, but I would always spend the few precious hours I did have in reading, or telling, stories to my children. Their responses, questions and comments would energize me in unexpected ways.<\/span><\/p>\n That was when I realised the true power of storytelling (not only for the listener, but also for the teller) as well as the essential awareness of both self and others that stories could bring to our lives. I carry those memories with me always, and they continue to be the driving force behind all my works.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” width_tablet=”95%” width_phone=”83%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Nunito||||||||” header_2_font=”Aladin||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”30px” locked=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”off|off|off” module_class=”section-divi-3″ _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” width_tablet=”95%” width_phone=”83%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|tablet”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.4.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_font=”Nunito||||||||” text_text_color=”#333333″ text_font_size=”21px” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Nunito||||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#263954″ header_2_font_size=”36px” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||5px|” animation_style=”fold” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_fold=”20%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%”]<\/p>\n My work is crafted using a combination of in-depth research, on-going interactions with diverse peoples around the globe, with the goal of creating stories that are immersive, fantastical and meaningful, while still finding themselves grounded in the reality of human experience.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By caring and advocating for others while still standing up for my core values, I use my craft of storytelling to connect with hearts and minds across the world.<\/span><\/p>\n I am an empathetic writer.
