Growing up she was taught to appreciate diversity among individuals and
was encouraged to nurture the uniqueness within herself. As
an inner city school teacher she recognized the beauty and panoply of different
and unique characters among her students oft inspiring new and interesting
characters in her story writing and telling.
Curiosity
of life and learning has led Ms. Hall to travel and study other cultures in
Europe, the Caribbean, and Central America. Her experiences abroad and the knowledge she has gathered from other
peoples has greatly enhanced her storytelling.
Reading, storytelling, and music are a daily ritual in
her home. Ms. Hall believes storytelling to be an artistic, expressive way of
bringing people together and guiding them on a journey of the world’s
cultures, peoples, and landscapes through imagination. She believes
that “the ancient and proverbial
wisdom contained in stories holds the answers to many of today’s
problems.”
