Episode Synopsis

Welcome to 'The Performers Who Pivot Podcast,' where we celebrate incredible journeys of transformation and creativity. I'm Grace Viora, your host, and I'm thrilled to introduce Dyonne Antonette Josiah, a talented creator who started her artistic journey nearly two decades ago.Dyonne, once a performer, has gracefully pivoted her talents towards writing children's books. Hailing from Islington, North London, Dyonne discovered her passion for storytelling early on. Struggling with dyslexia at 16, she turned her unique perspective into a career, crafting stories that empower young minds and bridge gaps in understanding. Her journey led her to create 'The Adventures of Canary Ryland—How do you get a baby?'—a heartwarming tale that eases conversations about a sensitive subject.Her journey from performer to author resonates deeply with our podcast's theme of performers who pivot. Join us as we dive into Dyonne's inspiring narrative. Grace Viora is the host of The Performers Who Pivot podcast. She is an actor, writer and entrepreneur. Grace started her award-winning company DramEd to enrich children through the arts in education.
