Robin Kitson

Robin Kitson hails from the ninth ward of New Orleans where waters run high, and the great brown pelican flies. Her repertoire includes Cajun, International, and Traditional Folktales.  In addition, Robin crafts special event programs that include stories and poetry to fit the occasion.  She has told at festivals, corporate events, schools, preschools, and workshops.  Her inspiring life experiences include being a financially destitute, single mother who went back to school and become the first female power plant electrician in Goldsboro, NC to fleeing her house in a pirogue (boat) during a flood.

Robin remembers a time when everybody sat outside on the gallery (porch) telling stories while kids played passé (volleyball) in the street.  She has a BS in Family and Consumer Science and an AAS in Electronic Engineering Technology (a story within itself).
