Storyteller to weave multi-cultural tales for campus audience

    For generations, people have used stories to pass on lessons learned.
Native Americans tell of hunts or successes in war through their tales.

   Families record their history when grandparents tell their grandchildren stories of when they were young.

   Multi-cultural storyteller, Michelle Washington, will weave a tale to students on the NW Campus Thursday, March 21, at 9:30 a.m. in the Optimum Room.

   Washington’s stories will center on women’s history, focusing on one woman in history. She plans to tell the story while incorporating valuable lessons and history.

   Washington has woven her historical tales to universities, businesses, nursing homes, runaway centers and many other organizations around the country.

   She began her career as a storyteller after first experiencing different careers such as teaching pre-school and counseling.

   She has also been recognized in Who’s Who in colleges and scholastic educational television.
