Storytelling
Josie knows that she has the best job in the world. She talks to animals. And they talk back! She finds hope and inspiration in the stories of the lives of people of today and from our history. She helps people grieve and celebrate the joy in their lives. With her presentations and narratives, Josie takes her audiences on imaginative journeys to reach new insights and understanding.
She uses an engaging and interactive approach that draws her listeners into a world of imagination, teaches the love of language and literature and shows the power of words to create new insights.
Audience participation is the mainstay of Josie’s presentations!
During these difficult times of social distancing, Josie has taken special steps to reach her audiences with VIRTUAL offerings that may be streamed from this website (example to right)!
Josie was born and grew up south of Atlanta, graduated from Georgia State University and worked in a number of jobs in business. She discovered her true calling as a storyteller more than 20 years ago, while volunteering as a Story reader at her son’s school. Josie was immediately hooked and began her new and exciting career.
Josie has extensive experience across the Southeastern United States, covering festivals, museums, preschools, primary schools, middle schools, high schools, libraries, senior centers, family and class reunions, anniversaries and weddings, home goings and other church events, conferences and business/professional meetings and private parties for both children and adults!
Josie has authored several books and has a collection of spoken word CD’s. The audio versions are available on Amazon and iTunes! She is a member of KUUMBA Storytellers of Georgia, and Laughter Yoga, International.
