Professional Storyteller, Oral Historian, Author
Welcome! I’m a London-based professional storyteller, oral historian and author of Guyanese heritage. I love to share tales and histories from the African and Caribbean diasporas. These can be traditional folktales, myths and legends gifted to me by storytellers, friends and community elders, or uncovered from anthologies, academic journals and archives. I’m interested in unearthing stories about everyday and extraordinary Black people whose legacies have been overlooked, distorted or erased.
It brings me great joy to capture the precious memories of our elders in a respectul and ethical way for oral history projects. I’m always eager to share my expertise with anyone who needs mentoring with their storytelling or writing, so don’t be shy, get in touch!
