Phyllis D. Jason , a life-long Louisiana resident fondly known as “MaMa
Saba,” has entertained children for well over thirty years at libraries,
schools, churches and other venues around Louisiana. She earned the
name “MaMa SaBa” meaning “mother of seven,” in Swahili, after the birth
of her seventh child. She dynamically energizes her audiences as she steps
into the life of her audiences, weaving folktales, tall tales, funny tales, and
just plain “ole” tales for kids from five to ninety-five. No matter what the
choice of story, she takes her audience on a grand journey through
character – filled tales as she leads them “From Here to Yonder.” Audiences
are always invited to jump into the stories by way of song and dance. She
even includes a few original yarns spun from her very own pen.
