Our Story
During the isolation of the pandemic, I wandered the streets of Harlem with a puppet of Italy’s legendary La Befana, seeking to spark joyful connections in a turbulent time. As I animated the La Befana puppet, I brought strangers and myself into moments of encounter-bridging the space between self and other. This experience awakened in me a sense of deep belonging, rooted in the realization that we are all part of a Greater Story. Today, I bring the lessons learned on the streets of Harlem into my work at La Befana’s Table, where I create space for authentic expression, deep connection, curious conversation, and the celebration of our shared humanity.
