Join us at 2:30 pm for our monthly meeting of the Writers' Alliance of Gainesville. Writer Pamela D. Marshall presents “The Speeches and Writings of Fannie Lou Hamer: A One Woman Show.”
Come join the Writers Alliance for a treat on Sunday, March 10 at 2:30 p.m. when author Pamela D. Marshall presents “The Speeches and Writings of Fannie Lou Hamer: A One Woman Show.”
“As a writer,” Marshall said, “creating the Fannie Lou Hamer One-Woman Show taught me the power of weaving research and authentic voices and her songs into storytelling. By delving into Mrs. Hamer’s speeches and legacy, I found a way to bring history to life, evoking emotion and inspiring action.
For writers, this process demonstrates how to transform research into compelling narratives that resonate deeply with audiences, creating work that informs and moves people to think, feel, and act. I hope this performance inspires you to uncover powerful stories waiting to be told in your own work.”
Marshall is also a Peace Ambassador and Executive Director of At The WELLness Network/Publishing. Inspired by her journey and the fresh perspectives of her grandson BJ, Pamela crafts stories that nurture young minds, weaving themes of forgiveness, environmental stewardship, and emotional well-being.
Her works include The Art of Forgiveness: An Expression of Peace and children’s books BJ and The Majestic Forgiveness Tree and BJ’s Big Mission, Easie Turtle’s Healing, Heals Earth.
A seasoned journalist, public policy advisor, and keynote speaker, Marshall’s expertise earned her an interview at the White House during the Obama Administration. She resides in Florida with her husband, Scott, and delights in being “Beanie” to BJ.
