Satori Shakoor <\/a>is a writer, actor and comedienne. And really, Satori is a storyteller, in all the ways she pleases, and especially as a mainstage storyteller for The Moth, and as executive director of The Society for the Re-Institutionalization of Storytelling. Performing is in her blood, and during our conversation I was exposed to different facets of roles played. At times, I saw a strong soul with firm opinions and a willingness to fight for them. The next moment, the conversation seamlessly segued to a gentle, endearing, and inquisitive kindness. Having a conversation with a dynamic performer of Satori\u2019s ilk and experience was both invigorating and rattling. Like a storm passed through, leaving only inspiring thoughts as debris. I\u2019m still picking up the pieces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
