“It must be borne in mind that the tragedy in life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream…”
-Dr. Benjamin E. Mays
“Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.”
-Leon J. Suenes

As a teaching artist/storyteller, Terrence Roberts embraces the teaching power of words and music. Students are fascinated with the culture, stories, and musical instruments of West Africa. Roberts’ performances, workshops, and residencies are filled with teaching moments, not just in West African culture but in science, history, and language arts. Terrence Roberts is known as “Da Story Weaver,” because he weaves the world together one story at a time. In the language of the Bamanakan people of West Africa, the ancient title “Da” was one who connected his people to their past and escorted them into their future. Roberts is a master storyteller who draws children into his web with his animated and interactive style.
