This Month's Features: Scott Whitehair & Valentina Ortiz
Valentina Ortiz brings together storytelling and social engagement. She has published 4 books and produced 4 story and music recordings. Valentina has now discovered the wonders of bilingual storytelling and shares the stories of Mexican tradition and of the realm of migration in the US and other countries of the world. Valentina came to live in New York to heal from the violence in México. She goes every day to the park where she works and -oh surprise!- she has discovered a Mesoamerican pyramid in the heart of Manhattan. More at http://valentinaortiz.com/curriculum.html
