About Linda Gorham
Storytelling is an amazing profession. As a storyteller, I enjoy thinking outside the box to create new stories out of old ones. I love twisting familiar tales. And I enjoy the challenge of creating new stories based on my own experiences. I also love seeing my audiences laugh, relive a memory, and/or think deeply about a memory. The power of Story is truly incredible. Storytelling has taken me from preschools through colleges and to festivals all over the United States and to South Africa, Egypt, and Greece. I have told stories and presented workshops for college orientations, corporate retreats, and law schools. It has been a fun ride!
