Mekela Edwards

Born and raised in Oakland, I have been performing since an early age and have dabbled in everything from stage to movies as an actress, dancer, writer, director and producer. I am an educator and have taught performance arts to students of all ages for over 25 years. I received my Bachelors of Arts degree from University of California, Davis, studied multimedia and broadcast at City College of San Francisco, and after wild ride in Oakland Unified School District as a classroom teacher, I am back in the lab stirring up a delicious brew of creative delectables.
My goal is simple-- to passionately tell the stories of noble men and women of our history as well as those of our imaginations to diverse audience who are seeking entertainment that feeds their soul. I would like to create and produce programming that educates, entertains, and allows the audience to have FUN!

Specialties: I have a knack for producing and have been in-charge of getting the story, recruiting, location scouting, leadership, training, producing, marketing, organization communication both verbal and written. Event planning, and meeting facilitation. Web 2.0 savvy.
