My Story
Stories have always been more than words on a page for me, they’ve been a way to understand emotions, express creativity, and build connection.
​
The Color of Stories was born from my desire to create meaningful experiences for children and families, spaces where imagination is celebrated, feelings are explored, and creativity is encouraged. What began as a children’s book, Through the Colors of a Butterfly, has grown into something much bigger.
​
As an author and performing artist, I saw how storytelling could move beyond the page. Through read-alouds, school visits, dance, workshops, and community-centered artistic experiences, I discovered that stories come alive when we embody them, when we move, create, and share them together.
The Color of Stories is a reflection of that belief. It is a vibrant, multifaceted space where books, art, movement, and community intersect. My mission is simple: to help children feel seen, inspired, and confident and to remind families and communities of the power that stories hold to bring us together.
