MOST BORING OF ALL
Who said--You can fool all the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time--Oh well,
you know the rest. Don´t forget, certain things must be taken with a grain of salt.

Critics Corner
Critics Corner
"Unusually engaging program in which she received not only one, but two standing ovations on opening night"
Oakland Tribune

"An important American Talent...unique...electric...soul stirring...brilliant...I was spellbound"
Gerald E. Snider Ph.D.
Johnson College, Kansas

"I hope you know how popular you were with every audience, how you ignited the crowd every time you stood up,
how magic and compelling you were (and are) as a storyteller...we were in the palm of your hands"

Peg O´Sullivan
Connecticut Storytelling Festival

"Thank you for your superb performances. Everyone loved you. Your personality, compassion, and love for
others came through every time someone talked with you, or listened to one of your stories."

George Nelson
Northern Prairie Storytelling Festival

"The Spiritual singing was one of the most memorable hours of my life" "Diane Ferlatte was great for culture
because we could all relate to differences and equality"
"Diane was brilliant"

Glistening Waters Storytelling Festival, New Zealand

"You have the uncanny ability of making every single member of the audience feel like you are talking to them personally, as if in their own front room and then suddenly being able to switch gear to the role of orator addressing a whole hall of people. You are indeed a communicator extraordinary!"
Paul Armstrong
Music Hall, Portsmouth, New Hampshire

"I was sure impressed by how many subtle but critical messages you were able to communicate"
Design For Sharing
UCLA´s Performing Arts

"Truly a masterful storyteller...a significant contribution to the success of the conference"
