Qualified

From an early age I have presented on a variety of topics. Over the past 30 years I have given lectures to Classes from Elementary School to College; from Genealogical and Historical Societies, and to informal local gatherings. My Academic research on topics as varied as Sports history and the technology of the African Diaspora demonstrate a variety of well researched and reasoned arguments.

Speaking

With a background in vocal performance and time spent in radio broadcasting, I know the importance of projecting to the audience in a variety of formats and styles.

Passion

I enjoy speaking on topics because I have passion about sharing the knowledge I have gained. Some of my topics have been specific request with 12 months to prepare aimed at a particular item requested by a group. Other subjects have been from my stock of research that can be easily called upon when a last minute request arrives.
