During this 2017 talk, my MS was flaring. Every word felt like climbing a hill—my body heavy, my focus fading. I leaned on breath, rhythm, and faith to stay steady, turning an invisible struggle into visible strength. I didn't talk about I just was MS.

Shhhhhh... Making Plans with Bob Dorough

Three IS A Magic Number!!!

Click on photo to remember Bob Dorough with me!

I was blessed to make a radio appearance with Bob on WXPN; it was a highlight in my life to meet the piano man whose songs I sang as a child! Mr. Dorough, wrote many of the songs for ABC's Schoolhouse Rock! animated series. We made plans to meet again in PA - just before he died. He was 94. Check his pony tail!

From those roots, I became a storyteller, weaving languages and cultures into every performance.

When I moved from New York to the Northwest, the seasons shifted dramatically—just as my life did when multiple sclerosis became part of my story. Yet, even when rain…

Winter’s Farewell: Rainy April and the Promise of May

As April drizzles in, winter slowly loosens its grip, but not without a final rain-soaked bow. For me—an artist navigating the world with a disability—the weather is more than just scenery. Rain means moving quickly or finding transport to carry my gear, while my surroundings in the Northwest are a far cry from my old New York days. Yet, beneath April’s chill, I feel the shift. May’s coming warmth and blooming flowers are not just seasonal—they’re a reminder that every shift, like my journey, brings new…
