In 2016 I won 1st place in the NJ Storytelling Festival Story Slam at Grounds for Sculpture.
As "Aunti Oni" I bring the JOY of UBUNTU! (I am because we are) with Aesop, Anansi and ah-ha stories.

American Her-Story come alive in my one woman interactive performances and workshops on the spoken word poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar. Featuring 'Lias' Mother, Granny Goose and Mary Ellen Grandberry in Always Free, A Juneteenth Celebration.

Since childhood I delighted in performing dance in the musical South Pacific. Professional storyteller since 1994, I am grateful to educated and entertained audiences in Germany, USA, Zimbabwe and Trinidad & Tobago.

Visit me at my website or YouTube Channel, Oni Lasana Productions, to enjoy short stories, Doin' Dunbar, telling jokes, or listen to my podcast, Story Village with Aunti Oni at the 1st. link below and google Kwanzaa Time with Aunti Oni.

Her-Story Programs offers presentations as Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and Ona Judge (who escaped freedom from President Washington).

A Certified Laughter Yoga Guide since 2017, I love bringing participants together as part of my wellness and joyful living program, LOL4Real!

"Dear Auntie Oni, When I saw you, I knew that you were going to be a great storyteller. You did such a great job at storytelling. I loved when you did the beat box song. I loved it so much. I hope next year you can come to our school again. We love you Aunti Oni."...Love Alex, Princeton Friends School, 2025
