Senior Citizen Groups
In Leticia's experience performing for senior citizens, she's found storytelling is a form of entertainment they know and absolutely love. All ages love storytelling, but no one appreciates it like their generation. Before the popularity of television, folks frequently and regularly participated in storytellingboth live and radio.
In fact, the inspiration behind Leticia's storytelling career came from her grandmother. As far back as she can remember, her wonderful grandmother shared stories with her.
Leticia has been a regular at two adult day centers in Salt Lake Citynot just performing, but also in leading/guiding the groups in storytelling activities.
