WATG 2024 Annual Conference

I am neurodiverse (ADHD), gifted and talented (Performing Arts, Leadership). I am a lifetime youth performing arts educator who is considered Twice Exceptional. I have firsthand knowledge of how an environment can make or break the progress in the life of a creative. I have 20+ years of implementing unique practices that have been documented as successfully cultivating individuals, families, and communities. On a daily basis, I imagine. I innovate. I inspire others to do the same. My life's work has consisted of advocating for people (both dead and alive) who are creative. As a performing artist, I am sure that you will find my presentation full of rich insights, examples, audience participation, passion and humor.
