Hi! My name is Ayesis and I am proof of the
healing power of writing.
Early on, I realized the healing power of writing. As a young adult, poetry and short stories became a way for me to express and escape adversities that I faced.
My first play, Standing on the Edge, included much of these writings and was produced as a means to connect with young people by showing them that they are not alone in the things they feel and the thoughts that they have.
A Bit About My Background:
I am a multi-hyphenated artist (playwright/actress/director) and distinguished arts educator who has written and produced plays that have toured all across the US.
But that’s just the surface.
Writing and Telling My Story
My most recent work, Sculpting Clay or How I Became Mother of Unicorns, is a one-woman show that was necessary to write as a means to my own healing. It is a coming of age story that follows my journey into education (kicking and screaming), highlighting how I fell in love with it, and shines a bright light on my struggles with secondary traumatic stress and teacher burnout. It was through the writing of this piece that I was able to confront many of the traumas I was exposed to–both my own and those of the people around me–and begin the work of healing the wounds that those traumas left behind.

I am amazed at how powerful this experience has been - writing, exploring, believing in the value and worth of our stories, the hour of space to work alongside others. So simple and doable in structure; yet SO incredibly powerful.

I loved seeing the variety of educators in this space. We all had different stories and yet has some things in common. It reiterated the humanness in all of us.
