Desiree Taylor M.Ed., M.A., is an educational storyteller specializing in telling and teaching stories from American history using an African American perspective lens to inspire communities to apply the lessons those stories may contain to their individual and communal lives.

Desiree loves that the arts can act as magic to move us individually and collectively to richer places that might take a lot longer to get to otherwise. One of the themes that continues to come forward for her through art and in other ways, is inclusion- what does it look like, and what does it mean? She believes investigating this theme is a worthy endeavor.
