ABOUT OUR TELLERS: 

Mama Edie Armstrong is a bilingual storyteller, percussionist, and speech/language pathologist. Her travels inspired her article “How to Reach a Multilingual Audience,” in Margaret Read MacDonald’s Tell the World! Storytelling Across Language Barriers. Whether fun and frolicky or somber and serene, her wisdom folktales, historical, and personal stories encourage self-love, social justice, and personal empowerment.

Megan Wells is a national touring storyteller and in-demand historical impersonator. She is renowned for her epic telling from myth and literature as well as her historical impersonations of famous powerful women. She has garnered five national awards as well as three regional awards in her hometown of Chicago. Megan is truly, madly, deeply, wildly, obsessively, indubitably, supercalifragilisticexpialidousiously IN LOVE with the art and craft of storytelling.
