Debora is a folklorist and cultural worker. She was the founder and long-time director of the Philadelphia Folklore Project (PFP), an institution devoted to cultivating folk arts as tools for justice, power and self-knowledge. Over the course of 27 years at PFP, Debora helped support over 350+ folk artists and cultural workers in developing their own work in folk arts and social change, and in raising over 3.3 million dollars in needed resources for community-based projects challenging the status quo. As a writer, facilitator and cultural midwife, she works collaboratively and in multiple media to challenge problematic histories and to re-imagine the possibilities of local knowledge and culture.
