Angela Derecas Taylor describes herself as a “writer/foodie/yogini” – and she also happens to have been Mayor Noam Bramson’s aide for the last dozen years, so she is plugged into the New Rochelle scene. Angela shares stories about her life in print and on stage as a storyteller with Generation Women, StoryBOOM and The Moth Radio Hour. Angela helped bring The Moth to New Rochelle to kick off ArtsFest on October 19th with a Story Slam, so we’ll talk to her about live story telling: What makes it so special, both as a performer and an audience member? And how does it work? She’ll get us all ready for an amazing Moth experience.
