Beginning in January of 1991, I was an actor within experimental theater productions.  In June of that same year, my ministerial alter-ego of Sister Who was officially created and basic ideas for an ongoing television show came together slowly over the course of the next twelve months. 

The show retains its original name of "Sister Who Presents" (that's preSENTS, as in "to bring before the public... to offer to view...to bring to one's attention") and was first cablecast in November of 1992.  The focus and intent of the show has always been a deeper but common sense look at issues of life and/or spirituality which would hopefully provide food for thought, without insisting upon any particular system of doctrine or dogma. Specifically because "Sister Who Presents" is not a news show but strives for timeless information and insight, episodes recorded many years ago continue to be replayed and experienced by new generations of viewers as being just as fresh and new as when they were first recorded.

What is the message of your show?
Among the many possible messages of the show are such oft-repeated principles as "a person is a person is a person" (thank you, Dr. Seuss) and "it is not so important how you love, live honestly, constructively understand various ideas, positively relate to others, or experience God as that in fact you do (love, live, understand, relate, experience, etc.)"  No sacrilege, spoof, satire, or devaluing of anyone else's opinion or perspective is ever intentionally done.  Rather, the show is about the genuine ministry and spiritual service of Sister, who is primarily concerned with nurturing personal and spiritual growth.

What do you do outside of producing videos?
When not engaged in video production, I am a doctoral student (having finished a Master's degree in Theological Studies, I am now working on a self-designed PhD in Human Services), writer (one published novel and other manuscripts in process), artist, songwriter (three albums of original songs thus far), interfaith minister (personally gravitating toward an eclectic form of mysticism), and theater person.

With regard to preparation for production, I cannot overstate the importance of pre-production planning.  Everything that can be planned or determined ahead of time should be, because there are inevitably always unpredictable circumstances that arise, to which a producer can more effectively respond if other details have already been decided.

Why is your voice important?
I believe the voice of Sister Who is essential because it is inclusive, honest, deeply thought-provoking, and happy to address many subjects for which there is an obvious need of discussion, but no public discussion seems to be happening.  Additionally, I am approached by viewers quite often, whose first words are gratitude for my show's production and distribution, followed by earnest requests to never stop, due to the various forms of empowerment the show brings to them.
listen to them.  I'm not saying you need to agree with everything, but they do deserve a listen.
