Orunamamu
Orunamamu (4 April 1921 4 September 2014) was an American/Canadian professional storyteller, raconteur and griot. Her peripatetic storytelling led her on extensive, demanding and often impromptu journeys across the United States including Alaska, overseas to the United Kingdom and Egypt and finally to Canada. She is included in a number of books, journals, articles and two documentaries. Her performance medium was the spoken voice in performances to audiences. For Orunamamu storytelling became her cause as well as her art form, because "()torytelling demonstrates the humanity in every culture." Following a battle with cancer, Orunamamu died in Calgary, Alberta on 4 September 2014 at the age of 93. She was booked to perform at the Calgary Spoken Word Festival in the summer of 2014. Orunamamu has been the subject of countless portraits over many decades and in many countries, including photographers such as Arthur Koch (Oakland), Kenneth Locke (Calgary) and Jim Hair. Many of these are shared through social media.
== Early years ==
Marybeth Washington worked as a teacher for thirty years, starting in Wisconsin, then Palo Alto and Utah, and finally in Berkeley. Writer Carolyn North described how Marybeth Washington was her own children's favourite teacher when they were in kindergarten. Even then she was colourful character who broke the rules by taking the children out walking in the rain, dressing up like a circus performer and even taking a nap during the students' nap time. Although the school board attempted to fire her a number of times, parents like North would defend her and it took the school board many years to succeed.
