Hello friends and family. 
Happy New Year! We are continuing to face difficulty during the pandemic. I hope you stay safe and healthy by being mindful and practicing self-care.

I am writing to share with you some of the projects I am currently working on. Please join me in any of the online and in-person events coming up this Spring. Looking forward to seeing you!

THE CHANTEUSE IS IN!

I am performing with the bearded ladies virtually this Friday with the ghost of Edith Piaf herself!

On January 14th, Edith Piaf answers your burning questions about love, relationships, and eyebrows. We're opening up the January edition of LOVE NOTES: A Year of No Regrets to the community. This month, Edith hops on a Zoom to answer your questions live, and maybe if she's so inclined, sing a little bit.

To join us Friday, January 14th at 6:30 pm, click the button below to RSVP. The event is free to view, though donations are appreciated!
