The Women’s Storytelling Festival is once again coming to Fairfax, VA, 24 – 26 Mar 2023 (https://www.bettersaidthandone.com/womens-festival/ ), and I am excited to help once again! Women from all backgrounds and storytelling genres will tell stories that will make you laugh, cry, gasp, and scream. Sometimes, all in the same story! In the four years that I have helped in the festival’s background, I’ve enjoyed the performances of these tellers in the foreground. Over the years, not only have I been able to enjoy their performances, but I have learned from their wisdom and inner workings of telling stories of all sorts. 

Never been to a festival? Let alone a storytelling festival? You can expect a regular rotation of performances by tellers with breaks sprinkled throughout. Some stories will be from personal experience. Others will be traditional folktales or fairy tales. Still, others will be spiritual in nature. There will be interactive stories and spellbinding stories. Some will take 2 or more of these styles and weave them together with a twist. You will be able to experience this in person and online throughout the whole weekend. That is if you get your ticket. If you click the link below, you’ll get to experience great tellers instead of just the words on this post. I hope to see you there!

After years of being an instructor in the military and the and the fire service, I realized I needed to improve my delivery. My students needed me to improve delivery. But how do I improve my delivery? Simple. I finally took a member of Toastmasters up on the invitation to come to a meeting. It wasn't long until I joined. Along the way of improving my skills at delivering a message, I came to understand that of all the ways to get a point across, telling stories is the best way to get it done. Around this time, another friend from Toastmasters told me about The Moth monthly story telling shows. What better way to test out my theories on storytelling. It's in my travels there to the shows that I found more and more shows, and classes, and events centered around storytelling. Despite how many people know about the storytelling world, not many people know about the storytelling world. So now, I'm out to tell the world about storytelling.
