Alice Butler Collins

N/A

For over thirty years I was a successful principal, administrator, and teacher in the Chicago Public Schools. Currently, I am an author, storyteller, and workshop facilitator. Storytelling and writing allow me to engage, empower, educate and entertain audiences. Through storytelling, I raise consciousness, spark laughter, enjoyment, cultural awareness, understanding, and self-discovery in audiences of all ages. My goal is to "celebrate life".
