Loretta was born singing and smiling and probably crying. From singing in plays during parochial school to her first spoken line, “the Frenchman struck him first, but the blow was not that great”, during the Joust scene in her high school rendition of Camelot. She knew that the creative arts were her means of self- expression and audience satisfaction and sometimes participation.

 

Loretta was known primarily as a Griot, the West African, word for Storyteller, a title which she carried for over four decades.  She has recently been introduced to her ancestral background, placing her in the royal line of the Kinte clan, who were Griots, Arietians, and peace-loving people.
