I was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa, a land exceedingly rich with natural resources; however, its people remain amongst the poorest in the world. Storytelling is what kept my spirit alive. I remember as a kid sitting outside around the fireplace in my village, Wembonyama, listening to my elders tell stories of why and how things came to be. They conveyed these tales in such an animated way that they brought the stories to life in my mind. That time is when I learned the beauty and the power that theater possesses. I learned very early on in life that, if I mastered the art of storytelling in a way that captured and interested my audience, my world and theirs would be a better place.view less
