Storyteller Kellmar Gonzales performs “Good Morning Heartache,” a story about one woman's twenty-year marriage to an abusive husband and father.

*************************************

Kellmar was born in Birmingham, Alabama, where rich Southern history was shared on wrap-around porches by family.  Now a professional storyteller, writer, folklorist, actress and educator, Kellmar’s stories reflect her African-American roots as well as the stories she just loves to tell.  Her Great-Great Grandmother was an ex-slave and the winner of a local Cakewalk contest.  Kellmar now brings literature to its feet.   She speaks to schools, libraries, festivals and museums.  Her deep contralto voice sounding like crisp low notes from an aged pipe organ fires one’s imagination and touches your heart.  We welcome her back to this years LAWTF.
