Blending traditional, international and personal tales, Carrie Sue, a bilingual storyteller takes her listeners on a journey into the imagination connecting people, languages, and cultures through her stories that flow effortless between Spanish and English.

An accomplished Chautauqua scholar and Kennedy Center trained Artist-in Education she delights in sharing multicultural folktales and historical portrayals of spirited, strong-minded women. Carrie Sue has worked with the Florida Humanities Council as a historical portrayal artist since 1996. Dedicated to preserving and promoting the Art of Storytelling, she has served on the Executive Board of the FL Storytelling Association and is currently the Florida State Liaison to the National Storytelling Network.

How is it that an Arabic surnamed, Eastern European Jewish girl from Pittsburgh, PA tells multicultural stories in Spanish and English? Perhaps it is because she is a third generation storyteller who came of age in Mexico.

From the time she could sit at the knees of her grandparents, listening to them tell their stories of the Old World or hearing her father recount show business adventures, through her move to Mexico as a teenager, Carrie Sue has been collecting and telling tales.

“it seemed rather incongruous that in a society of super-sophistocated communication, we often suffer from a shortage of listeners.” Erma Bombeck.

Carrie Sue encouraged digging up the buried treasures of our family’s histories. Storytelling allows us to absorb facts and emotionally connect to them. It is useful in business, medicine and all aspects of our daily communications.

StoryLab with Doug Lipman

"Personalizing the Traditional Tale, Universalizing the Personal Story"

What is a StoryLab?
An affordable, story-related educational opportunity of at least six hours in length, sponsored by FSA in partnership with other organizations. FSA will provide financial support along with planning, organizational and marketing assistance. FSA guidelines will govern content, presenters, objectives and budget. Selected partners will establish their own StoryLab team, but partnerships will be overseen by the FSA StoryLabs Committee.
