She is a storyteller, organizer and teacher who brings communities together in collective art making. She learned how to use art as a vehicle for social change at Spiral Q Puppet Theater, located in Philadelphia, PA, for five years. Michelle continues to engage with organizations to make art that plays a part of activist campaigns.
