Hello, beautiful people

Folk Tale: The Monkey & the Turtle

This my telling of a folk tale I remember reading in my childhood. There are many variations of this tale that include how the Monkey and the Turtle find the banana tree (sometimes just there, sometimes blown in a storm, sometimes floating in the ocean etc); how the Turtle punishes the Monkey (sometimes sharp sticks, other times sharp snails attached to the trunk. Regardess, this folk tale has remained in my brain and as I retold the story, with each revision it was fun to discover the different voices and characters of the two.

Library Advocacy Video

After months of interviews and lots of editing work, this video is now being released. This is my first full-blown production done completely on WeVideo. I uploaded all my interviews and photos and then began the arduous process of deciding what video clips belonged where. I tossed my initial script because it sounded forced -- I was trying hard to find videos that fit into the script I created. So, this final product is more organic and I hope more interesting to watch. Direct link to video

Podcast #1: My life in places

My life has always been defined by where I've lived and where I've been. I am always in motion, it seems, not wanting to take root anywhere. Rather like a tumbleweed, blown wherever the wind wishes. This is my first podcast, a brief glimpse into the places in my life.
