"Storytellers are our eyes into worlds we may never see. They paint pictures of times and people we may never know. You bring history to life. Congratulations to you for being you. I admire you so much."

"Not long ago, the children and teachers at the school where I teach were granted a wonderful gift. Laughter and song filled the hallways the entire day and I, for one, was unable to shake myself from the trance of words and rhythm that I had fallen under. You were the gift that relit a confused spark... Thank you for your presence and strength in story."
Kym Harris, John Sciole Elementary School; Depew, NY

"Your presentation was outstanding...[and] one of the most relevant that I have heard in a long time. The need to make the right choices, to treat others the way you want to be treated, the need for our students to perform at a higher level --- these and other relevant character traits were covered exceptionally well. You had the complete attention of our children."
Ron Romanowicz, Principal; Campus North (P.S. #63); Buffalo, NY

Once upon a time, so very long ago-- way before television and no one knew what was a radio --
The village would sit and gather around, listening to the storyteller whose words were spellbinding and always profound.
Tonight we honor a storyteller who always has a tale to tell, and when she does it, she does it so very, very well.
Karina Foster on the occasion of Karima's being honored by "Professional Sisters Working Together", March 31, 2001
