Gogo Skywalker Payne – Storyteller. Healer. Visionary.

🌀 I Am the Story I Tell

I’m a lifelong teller of stories that nourish the spirit, heal the heart, and awaken the soul. Long before I earned my B.A. Summa Cum Laude in Communications/Storytelling from Metropolitan State University of Denver, I listened—deeply. I listened to ancestors, to silence, to wind, to breath. Because I understood early: story is not just entertainment—it is medicine.

🎤 A Life Lived in Story

From the DuSable Museum in Chicago to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Ohio…

From Alaska’s snow-lit stages to rural Iowa’s schoolrooms…

From YouTube’s Three Minute Stories to intimate podcasts for children and elders…

I tell stories that:

• Rekindle the sacred
• Reveal buried truths
• Inspire courage in the face of injustice
• Remind us who we truly are
