I direct and narrate audiobooks; wrote and directed couple of plays, a short film, and a comedy show, and I make a mean peach cobbler.

Have you listened to The Individualists by @MattZwolinski and John Tomasi yet? @AudioFileMag calls it an "enlightening" audiobook and praises narrator @leononixon's "nuanced interpretations and appealing vocal character." Check out the full review: hubs.ly/Q01X1Jst0

70+ years after the Civil War, the WPA Federal Writers' Project began interviewing elderly Americans who remembered being enslaved. This collection is at the Library & this narrative from Sarah Gudger, age 121, is just one amazing piece of it. go.loc.gov/j1ZG50OM6op #Juneteenth
ALT A portrait of an elderly Black woman, Sarah Gudger, who was reportedly 121 years old at the time the photo was taken to accompany the narrative she shared with the Federal Writers' Project. Her hair is short and white, her hands are in her lap with her fingers laced together and she is looking into the distance, to the left of the camera (her right). Her tattered shawl is safety-pinned together under her neck.
