from Wayward Bodies · host Elle Bower Johnston

Amelia Donkor and I had a potent conversation about the healing potential of story, imperfectly embodying our values, and finding liberation by being in process.Talking with Amelia was such a joy. We meandered through the multifaceted ways that storytelling shapes our lives and the world we live in, including self expression, unlearning stories that were never yours, and the vulnerability of using your voice.ABOUT AMELIAAmelia is an actor, writer and facilitator blending creative arts and community building.She trained at LAMDA and has worked across theatre & television, as well as leading corporate training, voice workshops and women's circles.Amelia is passionate about storytelling and discovering new ways to play and liberate.
