I believe that stories can heal the fragmentations in ourselves and our communities. Through keynotes, readings, or workshops, I offer space for reflection, empowerment, and collective wisdom.

Through poetry, visual art, and storytelling, Beth invites audiences into transformative conversations around healing, social justice, identity, and inner wisdom. Her debut book, Pearl’s Wisdom, is a vivid tapestry of illustrated poems that trace a journey from self-doubt to self-discovery. Told through the eyes of talking animals, dreams, and wild nature, the book resonates with readers of all ages who are searching for their own path to wholeness.

Beth’s work is grounded in decades of lived experience as a professional musician, union leader, and advocate for equity. Whether she’s speaking to artists, activists, educators, or youth, Beth bridges the personal and the political. Her voice—artistic, honest, and courageous—brings the powerful message that our stories matter, that creativity is a form of resistance, and that healing is possible.
