Tour guide in Memphis Tennessee Jackie M.

I am a teaching artist who has become known throughout the City of Memphis as an "artivist" (artist and activist). I have been a local tour guide since 2019, and I have been immersed in the city's rich history ever since. While my work has allowed me to participate in historic marker dedication ceremonies and events, my passion is to spread love, peace, and understanding through the arts. I have been able to take people just like you on excursions throughout the city to teach about history while allowing compassion to grow from the stories of struggle and triumph. My motto is, "Not pursuing your dreams is like being a bird that is afraid of heights. " All my tours can be customized upon request. 2015- Present Teaching Artist - TN Arts Commission 2018-2022 Board Member - TN Theatre Association Professional Artist Representative 2022 & 2023 Runner Up - Memphis Tourism Annual Pick Awards - Tour Guide (Docent) Category 2012 - Present Playwright/Actress - Harriet Tubman: One Woman's Journey (Touring Show) None
