About

Join us this Saturday for an unforgettable experience with interactive storyteller Mama Koku , who will lead high-energy, improvised storytelling sessions at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Known for her magnetic stage presence, Mama Koku transforms storytelling into “story-doing,” inviting children and families to step into the narrative and become part of the performance. Each session is lively, creative, and completely unique, blending imagination, movement, and collaboration in a way that keeps audiences fully engaged. While you’re here, be sure to explore Change Agent Adventure: Children’s Gallery , an interactive space designed for children 12 and under. This hands-on “secret headquarters” invites kids to play, create, and build confidence as they discover what it means to be a changemaker. About the Storyteller Mama Koku is a celebrated teaching artist and storyteller known throughout Metro Atlanta for her dynamic and interactive style. A graduate with honors from North Carolina Central University, she studied theater with concentrations in performance and education. She began her career as a high school theatre teacher, where she honed her work as a storyteller and children’s writer. Her engaging approach has earned her recognition as the Official Teller for the National Black Arts Festival’s Education Village and The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Book Fair.
