Genevieve Navar Franklin - Listen to My Heart
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 27 ต.ค. 2010
Captivated throughout her life by the effect of words on the human spirit, Genevieve N. Franklin discovered the joy of personal storytelling on her first visit to The Moth at Freight & Salvage in July of 2017, where she was astounded to hear her name “pulled out of the hat” first.
That first Moth moment revealed a calling to create simple but richly meaningful narratives meant to tickle the soul and touch the heart of listeners. To do so, Genevieve draws on her experiences as an immigrant, childhood cancer survivor, interpreter, mediator, teacher and spiritual care provider, but especially on the short but beautiful years she shared with her sight-impaired, chronically ill yet magnificently loving partner, Donn.

How kind you are! We all must be grateful to thoose who work in the medical area.
What a great story and analogy about friendship. I hope you are well and happy
I was completely immersed in every word you said. You are a master storyteller! I don’t know if you remember me, but we were friends in grade school at Loretto. I love how you compare your face to Kintsugi. It’s a perfect description. You have always been perfectly beautiful to me. I have thought about you so many times over the years. I hope that we can reconnect. Hanna Archuleta Hamilton❤
