Samantha’s joining the Marrakech International Storytelling Festival courtesy of an Arts Council England DYCP grant. She’s a well-established facilitator of West African drumming and has been writing and performing her own brand of poetry for the past three years. Combing her love for rhythm, African culture and spoken word, Samantha now wishes to emerge as a storyteller, weaving story and rhythm to captivate and enchant children of all ages and abilities. She has undertaken intensive training with the great Usifu Jalloh, the Cowfoot Prince and will extend her training here in Marrakech.
