So... Clay Bravo always knew she was a storyteller. 

By the time she was in kindergarten, she was spending part of the year "on the road", but since she wasn't allowed to leave the block, she had to constantly think of new stories.  After placing 2nd runner up for the title of Miss Chunky Wisconsin, she headed for Hollywood to "see what they knew".  She ended up at Beverly Mickins Story Salon and she never had to leave the block again.
