I was told by my cousin Ida Kay that my South Carolina great-grandmother Mary would say to her grandchildren, "Bring me a cool glass of water, and I'll tell you a story." She had plenty of stories to tell. I follow in her spoken word tradition - - A tradition that has been in the making for more than 500 years - - The African American Griotic Tradition™. Call me if you have a cool glass of spring water. Tell a Story Tell a Story a Story Tell a Story Love and Care for Our Children Think according to long range historic and futuristic plans and concepts.Creative and conceptual thought is power.Dr. Amos Wilson Electronic mail: Bookings: www.classactsarts.org General Information: www.yourfavoritestorytellers.com African American Storytelling Arts Institute www.blackstory.org
