She didn’t kiss the Blarney Stone; she swallowed it. Born across the water, this dynamic performer grew up on an American Main Street steeped in Irish stories, language and culture. With several gold awards under her belt for performing and writing, Yvonne crisscrosses the USA telling stories according to her family motto. Ná lig go deo don fhírinne seasamh sa mbealach ar scéal maith. (Irish for “Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.")
