Edna Lawrence

Storyteller

She was born Edna G. Williams and nicknamed Deanna by the many cousins she raised. After many years of writing, she began volunteer work. This has led her life to the personal mission and passion for the protection and survival of children everywhere.

As a member of the National and Local Baltimore Chapter of the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society Inc., Edna has researched very important members in her family roots. She has a deep concern for the educational needs of the African American community. Her program "A Grandmother's Pilgrimage," takes you on a factual journey through African American history. The author is involved in many many humanitarian projects. She is the mother of four children, twelve granchildren, and two stepchildren. She carries her family to all her volunteer programs. She calls this witnessing. Hisotry must be passed on.

At 57 years old she has also worked as a volunteer editor on her college newspaper. Her warm humbling spirit is certainly felt at each encounter she has with anyone. She says her work is never done. "No" is not a word she recognizes. Friendly, outgoing and very direct in her conversations. You will either lover her or work harder to understand her. At th end of the day, she lays down to rest on God's Grace and Mercy.
