STORIES THAT TRANSFORM
Stories of Being and of Being in the Skin We’re In
Stories of shared humanity to dispel “otherness”
Stories of being a girl, a woman, a daughter, a sister, a lover, a mother and a friend
Stories of difference told to unite, inspire … not divide
Others exclaim:
"Denise brings stories from the heart, stories of joy and triumph and failures, of love and betrayal of anger and forgiveness."
"Her impeccable choice of words, vocal caresses and reflective pauses bring the listener with her to places and people you may recognize from your own lives."
What Others Say
Love your tonality and I can feel your heart. Amazing voice quality.
ADITYA GUTHEY
Your stories changed me – in ways I didn’t know I could or needed to be. Thank you.
CHARLES MARTIN, PH. D
I could listen to (her) all day. She draws you in and takes you places you’ve never been. I mean not just geography but soul. A rewarding and provocative story listening experience
