LADORIS BIAS-DAVIS

The Story Express, Gullah Geechee Storytelling

"Storytelling releases the power of the mind and nurtures the human spirit to engage, educate & entertain."

LaDoris Bias-Davis has been telling tales and facilitating workshops across the United States, Caribbean and South America for 28 years. LaDoris has a Bachelor of Arts in Speech and Theatre and a Graduate degree in Early Literacy Education.

Her programs are tailored to schools, libraries, youth groups, Early Childhood organizations, literacy/reading programs, motivational assemblies, corporations, family reunions and more.

LaDoris brings to life historical personalities (sung and unsung) so their stories can be shared, and their lives honored.

From Fables to fairy tales, fiction to non-fiction, Bible stories to "bet ya can't tell just one" stories, the Ezra Jack Keats collection, Gullah tales, African-American and inter-cultural tales and "Me and Mississippi" collection of personal stories, LaDoris engages audiences and provides programs for interactive learning.
