About Anna Miriam KellerClose

Who am I
I am a Brooklyn girl through and through. Born and raised in Brooklyn I have a fascination with stories. My father grew up in Crown Heights watching every Brooklyn Dodger game from the roof of his apartment building. My favorite place on earth is Coney Island and my favorite food is none other than a Nathan's hot dog with mustard. I went to the High School of Performing Arts for theatre and then lived a life full of adventure, enchantment and disenchantment in my twenties. I'm now back in school after ten years and I'm studying social work in order to open a non-profit after school arts program with counseling for young women in the South Bronx. I would like it to be a place for women to go and heal through the arts (especially through storytelling and writing). I'm focused on helping women and girls who have been survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, sexual violence and also those who just need a place to go. I was once a very lost girl who needed a place to go. I love working with women and children and my purpose is to give back, tell stories and hear stories. I'm grateful to be a thread in the life quilt.
